R.I.S.E. Program

Reaching Indepenence through Structured Education (R.I.S.E.) Program

The RISE Program (Reaching Independence through Structured Education) provides support to students with unique educational needs/severe medical or cognitive disabilities, significant academic, and/or social delays.  Programming emphasizes development of literacy and numeracy skills and the application of academic, social and life skills in the classroom, school and community.  This is achieved through a smaller classroom environment focusing on flexible instruction, use of assistive supports and a slower pace of targeted instruction.
