About Us

R.I.S.E. Academy offers a unique approach to learning and obtaining credits that go towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, youth who join R.I.S.E. can take one or more courses all while continuing to be part of their home schools or homeschooling programs.  R.I.S.E. was created to compliment traditional schooling, not replace it.
 

Each course will be inquiry-based, following the Social Change Maker Model.  Throughout, students will discover their strengths, motivations, and passions. While doing so they will acquire valuable skills required for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). By connecting with their community and co-creating passion projects with facilitators, each student will become a Social Change Maker (read more about the SCM Model here).
