We’re here to empower your Family.

Families of Color deserve an admissions and enrollment process that allows their children to shine. We’re here to help.

RIISE is empowering families of color with strategies to better experience belonging with admission and enrollment in independent schools.

Our commitment to cultural responsiveness is what makes RIISE your ideal partner on the journey. Resources In Independent School Education is a lifestyle network building bridges between families and school culture.

We like what this parent had to say… “Thank you for your support, guidance, and giving spot-on suggestions about the process. For listening through my ups and downs in the process, for helping me gain perspective, and for being a friend.”
