Tuition and Fees for 2023-2024 School Year

 

Based on current Rise enrollment, the total cost to educate each student is over $20,000 yearly. The difference between Rise’s tuition/fee receipts and the cost to operate the school is covered by fundraising, parent volunteerism, grants and the generous financial support of the Rise community and its friends around the Coastal Bend. We are incredibly grateful to all those who volunteer and give, which allows Rise to continue providing a superior inclusive education at a competitive price.

 

Monthly Tuition (8:00 AM- 2:30PM)
$735* per student

After Care (7:45AM drop off – 5:20PM pickup)
 $200 Monthly in addition to the $735

 

The Rise aftercare program is available to families currently enrolled in The Rise School program. It is a service geared towards working families that require childcare beyond 2:30PM.
