Rise
up is committed to enhancing the cognitive, social, and academic growth
of its students. Through a collaborative environment of academics,
physical fitness and social activities, students will reflect on their
own goals within and beyond the classroom, as an individual learner and
as a member of the Cambridge community. Rise Up will ask the students to
imagine the future, become invested in that future and outline a
roadmap to attain that vision. Rise Up is dedicated to helping students
become self-advocates and independent learners. Student success in Rise
Up is determined through engagement and participation throughout the
program as well as a pre- and post- writing assessment. More
importantly, student support is provided throughout freshmen year and
additional reflection on the impact of Rise Up will be determined upon
completion of their first year of high school.
