Rise Up believes in having a Love of Learning class structure in which the teachers explore and grow along with their students.
This accomplishes at least three things:
- It helps the student and her mentors explore various fields of knowledge and skill and find her areas of passion and genius.
- It keeps the student actively and constantly engaged in learning, because it emphasizes things she loves.
- It allows parents and teachers to openly share their own learning passions and interests—which is incredibly inspiring to young people.
