The context:
Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school but they are not learning. A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality. At Rising Academies, we’re changing that, and we want your help.
About us:
We are a growing network of inspiring schools in West Africa. Our mission is to unleash the full potential of every student, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and character to succeed in further study, work, and day-to-day life.
We offer four phases of education, from nursery through to senior secondary. Independent evaluations have found that Rising students make learning gains two to three times larger than their peers in comparable schools.
Today we support more than 250,000 students across more than 700 schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ghana through a combination of low cost private schools we manage directly, and partnership schools we manage in collaboration with governments. And Rising is continuing to expand through new government partnerships in Rwanda and through Bambai: a suite of powerful tools to help ambitious schools leverage their data and create quality in every classroom.
