About Rise Academy
Since 2003, we've partnered with students and families in Richmond's East End to create access to educational opportunities. Formerly Church Hill Activities & Tutoring (CHAT), we began with a mission to provide learning environments that cultivate students' God-given potential. That vision has grown into Rise Academy, a thriving fully accredited high school for students in grades 9-12.

Rise Academy is dedicated to fostering authentic educational experiences that expand students' horizons. We believe every student deserves access to a robust academic environment that prepares them for their next steps in life. By partnering with families, we care holistically for each student, nurturing their academic and social-emotional growth within our small school environment. Through our after school program, we ensure the community's youngest learners-no matter the school they attend-have safe, creative, and enriching out-of-school adventures.
