"It all began with a shoe on the wall. A shoe on the wall?! Shouldn't be there at all!" 👟🙃

Things were getting a little strange yesterday! It was Wacky Wednesday and our students made sure to wear wacky outfits and be super silly all day!

"It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how!"

The Cat was back! Yesterday we honored the most famous hat in history. Students grabbed their red, black, white, or stripes and joined in on the fun!

"I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham!" 🍳💚

We kicked off Dr. Seuss Week on Monday by wearing GREEN! We made green eggs and ham, and enjoyed reading together.

Brushing Up on Dental Health at Rise Academy!

February was Dental Health Month, and at Rise Academy, we had a fantastic time learning all about keeping our smiles healthy and bright! Our students dove into some engaging activities that made learning about oral hygiene fun and memorable.

One of our favorite activities involved our dry-erase brushing activity. We drew pretend germs on the smile, and then our students got to work, brushing away the germs with toothbrushes and learning the importance of good dental hygiene! It was a hands-on way to practice getting rid of those cavity-causing culprits.

We were so impressed with how eager and focused our students were during these activities. They learned about proper brushing techniques, the importance of flossing, and healthy eating habits that contribute to strong teeth and gums.

We hope this lesson is the start of raising the future of dentistry!

Now enrolling children for Summer Camp and the 2026-2027 school year.

Currently, we have a waitlist for students diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) but have availability for our neurotypical peers. I encourage you to check us out and get on the waitlist if you have a kiddo who may benefit from our program.

So why Rise? 🤗🤗🤗🤗

We offer extremely small class sizes (5 in Kindergarten right now,) 1:5 teacher ratio (I ALWAYS have 2-3 teachers/assistants in the classroom), and we share and teach the love of Christ. 🙏🏻

Peers learn compassion, leadership, love, and that being different is AWESOME! Our students with ASD learn age appropriate social skills from peers! It’s a beautiful model! We keep a 50/50 ratio of students- peers/ASD. 🩷💙

If public schools seem scary- huge classes, not enough support, and missing a crucial element- Jesus- then we are the place for you! 😳😵‍💫

We offer scholarships to help with tuition and do our very best to meet the needs of all of our families. 😃

Enrollment is open NOW for Summer Camp at Rise Academy! ☀️

Are you looking for a safe, nurturing, and faith-centered place for your child to learn, play, and grow this summer? Rise Academy’s Summer Camp offers a fun, engaging environment where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive.

So why Rise?

We keep our camp groups small with a low 1:5 teacher-to-camper ratio and 2–3 teachers or assistants in every classroom. That means plenty of personal attention, strong relationships, and a supportive space for every child.

Each day is filled with hands-on activities, learning, play, friendship, and character-building — all rooted in sharing the love of Christ. Campers build confidence, make meaningful connections, and enjoy a summer full of fun and growth.

Our camp is open to children ages 3–7 and is also a wonderful way for families to experience Rise Academy firsthand while exploring school options for the 2026–2027 school year. It’s the perfect chance to see our classrooms, meet our teachers, and discover what makes our community so special.

If you’re looking for a camp where your child won’t get lost in the crowd and will feel safe, seen, and celebrated, Rise is the perfect fit.

Early registration discounts are available for families who sign up soon! Registering early helps secure your child’s spot and gives you the best camp rate. Spaces are limited due to our small group sizes, so we encourage families to enroll early to take advantage of special pricing.

Session 1: June 1 - June 18

Session 2: June 29 - July 17

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
