Why Choose RISE?

🕒 Flexible Scheduling
Students attend in-person classes 2 days a week and complete independent, project-based learning the remaining 3 days.

🌐 Hybrid Model
RISE offers a blend of in-person and virtual learning tailored to each student’s pace, interests, and goals.

💬 One-on-One Support
Our small school model ensures students receive individualized attention from educators, counselors, and support staff.

🌱 Trauma-Informed & Healing-Centered Approach
At RISE, we recognize that every student carries a unique story – and that school should be a place where they feel seen, heard, and supported.

💼 Wraparound Services
We work closely with partner organizations to connect students with mental health support, internships, mentorships, food and housing assistance, and more.

We create a safe, consistent, and caring environment where students impacted by housing instability, foster care, probation, or other systems involvement can heal, grow, and thrive. Our team is trained to understand trauma and its effects, and we partner with students to build trusting relationships, honor their resilience, and support their journey – both academically and personally.
