RISE Prep Mayoral Academy

RISE Prep Mayoral Academy, is a regional, public, mayoral academy that is open to students in Woonsocket, Burrillville and North Smithfield who are interested in a high-expectations, college preparatory, extended day (7:35 am – 3:55 pm) model with a strong focus on character education and community engagement and service.

RISE Prep will grow to be a K-8 charter school which opened with kindergarten in the fall of 2015, and will grow one grade per year through a slow growth model.
