The students at RISE Community School are eager,
thoughtful, and creative learners thriving in an environment
of collaboration and reflection. At RISE, teachers, staff,
families, and community members share a vision that sees
the education of each child as a collective responsibility. RISE
teachers constantly reflect on their practice and challenge
each other to grow professionally. Through a structure of
shared decision-making, RISE teachers collaborate to develop
curricula and practices that integrate academic content
through engaging investigations in which students are able to
develop deep understandings through personal experiences
and to apply their knowledge in practical, hands-on settings.
These same qualities that make our day program so unique
are extended and enhanced in our afterschool program.
Whether it is kindergarteners transforming their classrooms
into aquariums, second graders examining dinosaur fossils,
or fourth and fifth graders playing the roles of historical
figures, RISE students are active participants in a deep and
rich academic environment. By combining opportunities
for group collaboration, independent reflection, creative
expression, and rigorous inquiry, the RISE program
challenges students to develop as individuals and community
members. The teachers, staff, and families at RISE are not
only proud of their ability to motivate their students to learn
and grow, but even more so of our students’ abilities to
challenge us in the same way.
