RiseUp Community School is a Denver-based primary and secondary school operating as a charter school in collaboration with Mile High Youth Corps. Its aim is to provide a supportive, experience-rich education that prepares students for post-secondary paths or meaningful careers, with a focus on social justice and personal leadership. The school emphasizes mastering three areas—social responsibility, higher-order thinking, and post-secondary readiness—through an integrated program that combines academic work with real-world, project-based learning and community engagement. It targets students who have dropped out or are at risk of dropping out, offering a learning environment that holds high expectations and encourages successful transitions to college and careers after graduation. The institution is part of the broader charter school ecosystem in the United States and has grown within the Denver area, with a stated opening of its first cohort in fall 2015.
