RiseUp Community School
The vision of RiseUp Community School is that all young people, regardless of their circumstances, have access to an education that will prepare them to counter social inequities and realize their full potential. Our school empowers young people to transform themselves and become leaders in their communities. Our school is a haven of trust and respect, where students can prepare for success in careers, post-secondary education and life. 100% of our graduates are prepared for and go on to post-secondary education or meaningful careers. The mission of RiseUp Community School is to engage young people who have previously dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out in a supportive learning environment that holds each student to high expectations, cultivates social justice, and inspires every student to achieve a high school diploma and become prepared for college and careers after graduation. School Overview: We believe that all students deserve an education rich in experience that allows students to be agents of change in their own lives. RiseUp Community School is a high school that operates in collaboration with Mile High Youth Corps to provide students with a community integrated and context based education. Employees are key in the creation of an education experience that encompasses academic, career and college planning, and social responsibility believe that the best way to learn is through applying new knowledge and skills to real-world projects. All students graduate showing mastery in three areas- Social Responsibility, Higher Order Thinking, and Post-Secondary Readiness. RiseUp Community School is a new charter school in Denver that will open with our first cohort of students in the fall of 2015. Applicants will be a part of the school design process and will have influence on the curriculum development.
