Founding RISE Academy was a dream come true. While weighing the different educational options for my children within the last few years, I wanted to be able to have the best of both worlds. We wanted to have the opportunity to build an educational model that had the classroom environment with licensed teachers, while also having the flexibility of a schedule at home was our goal. And we did just that - we are so proud of the continued growth and success of RISE. God truly went before the creation and development of RISE Academy and His favor and provision continue to baffle me as we expand.  While managing the business from afar, I look forward to continuing to watch RISE Academy become a beacon of light and love in the Manhattan community.
