Every Student Has a Place to Shine
Individualized support for students with diverse learning needs, because every child is fearfully and wonderfully made.
What is R.I.S.E.N.?
Responding to Individual Student’s Educational Needs
The R.I.S.E.N. Department supports students with identified disabilities in elementary, middle, and high school. Through individualized Accommodative Educational Plans and Christ-centered care, we help students succeed academically, socially, and spiritually.
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
How We Help
We offer tiered support options based on each student’s unique needs, from testing accommodations to daily supported classes to dedicated 1:1 aides. Our collaborative team works with families to determine the right level of support.
