Rise

Developing the whole child by meeting students where they are.

RISE is a unique, Christ-centered educational program offering targeted instruction in core subjects within the RISE classroom and, when appropriate, the regular classroom setting. RISE enables junior and senior high students with specific learning disabilities to receive modified curriculum for core academic subjects and to develop their God-given talents and abilities in a safe and encouraging atmosphere. Taught by nurturing, godly instructors, the program educates the whole child in social, academic, spiritual, and vocational training. It is the only faith-based special education program of its kind in the Denver area.

RISE is for students who:

  • Have a specific learning disability, including cognitive delays
  • Require a modified curriculum for most or all core academic subjects

 

RISE students receive an education tailored to their needs with an emphasis on real world applications. Each student has a Student Achievement Strategy (SAS) document. The Plan summarizes the student’s strengths and specific needs and outlines the suggested modifications/accommodations the school can provide. SAS document are updated annually to facilitate a smooth transition from one grade to the next.

RISE classes offer a low student/teacher ratio of 6.5:1 capitalizing on individualized attention.

In addition to core academics offered in RISE, students have the opportunity to participate in electives, sports, theater, music, and other extracurriculars (when appropriate) with the greater FRCS student body providing a rich experience for students with special needs.

RISE, and FRCS as a whole, recognize that all
students are people created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27) and are essential members with gifts to share. This means embedding students with differing abilities into the regular community to the greatest extent possible, celebrating
uniqueness as it embodies the economy of God and His kingdom. When issues arise, RISE and FRCS will respond with restorative practice as it paints a picture of shalom-holy peace and recognition of God’s image in each other. With this in mind, due to the nature of an inclusive community, different situations may arise that require implementation of safety
precautions, specific boundaries and/or consequences for the sake of the community as a whole.

RISE offers competitive tuition rates and is a one-of-a-kind, faith-based educational program for students with learning differences.

Frequently asked questions

When and what time will the funds for my payment plan be withdrawn from my bank account?

While FACTS transacts each payment on the specified date (5th or 17th), it is your financial institution that determines the time of day the payment is debited. FACTS recommends checking with your financial institution to determine how far in advance funds should be deposited into your account to ensure the automatic payment clears. If a payment date falls on a weekend or banking holiday, the payment will be transacted the following business day.

 

How will I be notified of my payment information?

Once your agreement for budgeted tuition payments is posted to the FACTS system, you will receive a confirmation notification of your payment amount by e-mail or letter in approximately 10 days. Payments will be processed until the total balance is paid in full. The notification contains information you must have to log on to MyFACTS Account permitting the responsible party to view their account online.

 

What happens if FACTS attempts to process my payment and there are not enough funds in my account?

Should an automatic bank payment be returned, a $25 FACTS Returned Payment Fee will be automatically assessed to your account. This is in addition to any penalty your bank or the school may assess. You will be notified by FACTS of the returned payment via mail or e-mail and the date for when another attempt will be made.
