Rise Academy is an independent Christian high school dedicated to fostering authentic educational experiences that expand students’ horizons. Since 2003, the school has partnered with students and families in Richmond’s East End to create access to educational opportunities. Formerly Church Hill Activities & Tutoring (CHAT), Rise Academy began with a mission to provide learning environments that cultivate students’ God-given potential. The school believes every student deserves access to a robust academic environment that prepares them for their next steps in life. By partnering with families, Rise Academy cares holistically for each student, nurturing their academic, spiritual, and social-emotional growth within their small school environment. Through their after school program, they ensure the community’s youngest learners–no matter the school they attend–have safe, creative, and enriching out-of-school adventures.
