Rise School of Corpus Christi

Our mission is to provide the highest quality early childhood education for all children - gifted, traditional and developmentally delayed - in an inclusive setting, where individualized learning techniques enable every child to achieve their maximum potential.​​

At Rise, we have a 50:50 ratio per classroom of students with disabilities and students without disabilities. The inclusion of children of differing abilities at Rise is known as an "integrated environment," and it is absolutely core to the school's mission. The short and long-term benefits of an integrated environment are equally great for children with and without disabilities.

Rise is the only private preschool in the Corpus area committed to a fully integrated classroom experience for all its students. Rise School graduates leave the school reading and writing at a pre-kindergarten level, with an introduction to basic math and science, with strong social and classroom skills. All of them are ready to be a full member of a mainstream public school classroom. Children with disabilities and those without do not see a distinction between themselves - they are simply friends who play and learn together.
