5 C’s of a Warrior Intellectual

At ARISE, we nurture, train, and discipline our school community to engage in a continuous practice of developing mind, heart, and body towards a VISION where we actively rise up. Agency and self- determination drive our struggle to improve our own material and social conditions towards a more healthy, equitable, and just society.
