Da Vinci Schools: LA County consists of a public charter school, RISE High, which exists to provide our students an individualized education through the coalescence of their personal and professional goals, their interests, and the academic skills necessary for success in the high-demand, constantly-changing world around them. Our school is a haven for students experiencing housing instability, foster and transition-age youth, and other students traditionally left out of the larger educational narrative. RISE will serve as a home where student voice is amplified and student needs are prioritized, resulting in a family environment where all individuals feel affirmed, valued, trusted, and supported towards their future goals.
RISE High seeks to create a highly responsive, holistic, and integrated model that meets the unique needs of youth navigating foster care, housing instability, probation, and/or other circumstances that have caused disruptions in their academic journeys. Through the facilitation of a flex-scheduling, credit recovery model, students are given the voice and choice necessary to pursue their academic goals while honoring the additional responsibilities they have in their lives. RISE High also collaborates closely with a network of youth-development agencies, educators, municipalities and social-support centers to break through systemic silos and create a truly student-centered ecosystem.RISE has three learning sites (Hawthorne, South Los Angeles, and Culver City) that are embedded within or near multiple social-service-provider locations in high need areas across Los Angeles to create a citywide campus allowing RISE students to master a real-world, project-based college- and career-ready curriculum in the ways and in the places that work best for them. These partnerships give RISE students access to counseling, case management, tutoring, job readiness training, career pathways, internships, extracurricular opportunities, leadership development, and more
