Academics at RISE

RISE actually consist of two separate schools, our Lower School comprising grades K-5, and our Preparatory School comprising grades 6-8.  

RISE GRAMMAR K-5

RISE Grammar proudly holds the distinction of being a Title I school under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Our Title I programs are rooted in effective approaches that drive scholar achievement and encompass strategies to foster family engagement. Working collaboratively with parents and family members, we jointly develop a comprehensive written plan to ensure meaningful involvement and support for our scholars’ success.

RISE PREP 6-8

RISE builds upon the solid foundations of our grammar school and creates a dynamic approach to prepare our students for success by offering rigorous academic programs, fostering critical thinking, and emphasizing personal responsibility. Through individualized support, extracurricular activities, and college readiness initiatives, students develop essential skills, confidence, and work ethic needed for high school success and future life challenges.
