Who we are

Rise Schools is a non-profit charter management organization that designs, starts and manages high-performing, college preparatory schools. All of our schools are grounded in standards-based instruction, rigorous assessment, highly structured environments, and the designs of other top-performing charter schools. All of our schools are free, open-enrollment, college preparatory schools.

What we do

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to receive an excellent college preparatory education for free, and we are working to offer that choice to every family. Our first school, Rise Academy-South Dade Charter School, opened in August 2008 and currently serves 250 students in grades K, 1, 2, 6 and 7.

Why it matters

At Rise, we prepare all of our students to make it to and through college. By building a partnership between students, parents and teachers, we are able to put learning first. Our outstanding teachers coupled with the extra time that our students receive for learning ensures that all Rise scholars are climbing the mountain to college.
