R.I.S.E. MIDDLE PROGRAM
ABOUT
THE
PROGRAMS
R.I.S.E. Elementary vs R.I.S.E. Middle
We offer two separate programs for students depending on their grade level. The R.I.S.E. Elementary Program is tailored for students in grades 3 - 5 while the R.I.S.E. Middle Program is tailored for students in grades 6 - 8. The programs vary more in terms of level of difficulty and depth, rather than in overarching content topics.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
This year, we have decided to split the original program into two different series -- Entrepreneurship & Marketing and Finance -- therefore a more comprehensive curriculum can be offered to students. Both series will be offered for two different age groups -- elementary and middle.
R.I.S.E. Entrepreneurship & Marketing Series
This series of workshops’ aim is to educate students on the fundamental principles of entrepreneurship and marketing through engaging activities such as guided notes, videos, games, and projects.
