Rise University Preparatory is an independent 9th-12th grade Christian school with a diverse community of students committed to educational excellence, equity and reconciliation. 80% of our scholars are either low-income, first generation to college, or Bayview residents. As a small school with low tuition, Rise Prep makes accessible an academically rigorous education in a loving, college-bound environment. We teach whole students so they can grow in maturity of mind and heart—to reason, create, serve and lead. Our goal is for 100% of our scholars to get accepted into a four year university. Rise Prep’s model is built on combining the power of a top-notch education with a committed long-term community to facilitate bright futures for each of our scholars and break long-held cycles of systemic injustice. Rooted in our neighborhood, Rise Prep is an outworking of God’s shalom--a place where students and families of different communities, ethnicities, and socioeconomic status unite to grow academically, socially, and spiritually.
