About Middle School RISE
The Cottonwood School’s RISE program reimagines and elevates the home study experience and strives to build community among our middle school students. This program offers live, virtual instruction in Math, Language Arts, and Science for students in 6th through 8th grade.
RISE is crafted to meet not only our students’ academic needs, but also their social and developmental needs. Interaction with their peers, teacher-guided discussions, project-based learning, and local meet-ups and field trips are woven into the fabric of our courses and approach. The goal of our program is for our students to develop their own sense of agency, build a growth mindset, and take ownership of learning.
