Hi Rise families & friends! 💙
I’m Melody Gayle, and I’m so excited to officially introduce myself!
I’m not only an educator with 22+ years of experience and a master’s degree in education — I’m also a mom of six (yes, SIX 😄), including one amazing child with ASD. That combination has provided years of experience to lead an incredible school like Rise Academy.
Rise was created through prayer, purpose, and real-life experience — both in the classroom and at the kitchen table. I know firsthand that every child learns differently, and that structure, patience, joy, and individualized support can change a child’s entire future.
At Rise Academy, we believe:
📚 Strong early literacy builds confident learners
🧠 Neurodiverse children deserve understanding, not labels
❤️ Small class sizes allow children to be truly known
🙏 Faith, kindness, and character matter
✨ Children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and capable
We don’t do “one-size-fits-all.” We meet children where they are and help them rise — academically, emotionally, and socially.
Rise Academy isn’t just a school — it’s a community. A place where children are celebrated, parents are partnered with, and learning is joyful.
👉 If you’re looking for a school that blends excellence, heart, faith, and individualized learning, we would love to meet you.
📩 Message us to schedule a tour
📞 Call for enrollment information
🌱 Come see why families say Rise just feels different
We are so honored you’re here — and we can’t wait to love and teach your little ones.
💙
— Melody Gayle, M.Ed.
Principal | Rise Academy
