Purpose.
Identity. Leadership.

Through rigorous academics, vibrant student life, and deep spiritual grounding, students learn to think critically, lead ethically, and serve with purpose – preparing them for college, career, and a life rooted in faith.
BUILD. COMMUNITY. TOGETHER.
House System
The House System at RISE Academy is a distinctive, research-aligned framework designed to extend learning beyond the classroom.
Service. Voice. Initiative.
Student Council

The Student Council is responsible for organizing and coordinating activities such as the Bonfire, School Sleepovers, Alumni night, Spirit Weeks, Burger Day, Entrepreneurship fair, Yearly festival, lunchtime activities, and numerous other student services.
Impact, Explore, Collaborate.
Clubs
At RISE, students propose, organize, and lead clubs that develop skills such as public speaking and debate, engage in community initiatives such as fundraising, or pursue interests such as art and hardware.
AFTER SCHOOL LEARNING
VEX Robotics
At RISE Academy, innovation and leadership go hand in hand! Our VEX Robotics After-School Program brings together students from grades 4–12 in a hands-on, collaborative learning experience. Veteran high school robotics students take on the role of mentors — teaching and guiding 4th–8th graders as they learn to design, build, and code robots for VEX competitions. Through this mentorship model, younger students gain technical skills and teamwork experience, while high school mentors strengthen their leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities. Students engage in blocked coding and C++ and learn to build and program robots. Together, they prepare for regional and state-level VEX Robotics competitions, representing RISE Academy’s spirit of creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
Experiential Learning
Upper school students at RISE Academy take part in service internships and meaningful travel opportunities that broaden students’ worldview, strengthen identity, and connect learning to lived experience.
