OUR PROGRAMS

  • CROSS ROADS

    Cross Roads is our original suspension and expulsion program that allows students who have been removed from school the opportunity to continue their academics in a structured environment while receiving the relationship restoration and social support they need to overcome their situation. Students attend Rise Above from Monday through Friday during normal school hours with the goal of returning them to their sending school district and with the academic and emotional stamina required for future graduation.

  • ACADEMIC RECOVERY CLASS

    In the fall of 2020, we started a program specifically designed to help traditional students struggling in virtual environments. Due to the increase in students choosing virtual education, we have maintained the program even as many kids returned to face-to-face schooling.

    The Academic Recovery Class offers a handful of features to foster a strong environment allowing these students to thrive. This includes academic and social support in an environment with high-speed internet and computer access. We also offer face-to-face tutoring for classes that may require it and structure to help students catch up on missing coursework.

ENROLL NOW

Building Relationships

The most important component of Rise Above is the relationship built with each student. Our goal is to assist the teens in understanding the importance of relationships and the networks of people we build around us. In our personal, academic, and professional lives, healthy relationships play a vital role in creating long-lasting positive outcomes.

Rise Above Believes:

  • Relationships come first

  • Each relationship is unique

  • Relationships are meant to be shared

  • Relationships endure post-program

  • This is exactly the type of program that we need for troubled youth today. I continue to pray for this “AWESOME” ministry God has blessed me to be instrumental in. I have seen the work of the Lord prosper in this ministry.
