Resources. Research. Retention. http://www.4riise.org/


RIISE serves as a member organization that supports the retention of families of color in independent schools. RIISE helps families navigate the complex dynamics of an independent school environment. They partner with independent schools to help foster an inclusive and equitable environment for Families of Color and help our children navigate this environment.


RIISE provides a platform for the hard work that families must do around race and ethnicity that will inevitably support healthy and successful matriculation at independent schools.

RIISE delivers by ensuring that families of color will be empowered to become vital, active, committed and fulfilled members of their school communities by instilling a sense of belonging. This vested interest and level of retention will directly benefit the vision of Independent Schools to maintain and increase a diverse student body representative of our global community.

Stay Tuned....Early Steps and A Better Chance
