Testimonials
"Providing a supportive network for families navigating the waters of the Independent School world is an excellent undertaking. I am eager to support RIISE's work."
- Sandy Shaller, Head of Lower School"CONGRATS!! I was impressed with the number of people who came out, and the number of us who were touched in some way by Mr. Lee's experience. There were a few gut wrenching moments for me… when he realized he lost his connection with his sister, and was more comfortable in the presence of the Caucasian family..."

Through The Night – Daniel Beaty
“Every now and then you see a performer who jolts the senses to attention. Daniel Beaty is one of them! By the end of the performance, I was on my feet shouting like someone in church – I was so moved.”
- Ruby Dee, Legend of Stage & Screen“Did I say the monologue was seamless? It was brilliant.”
- Suzie Brozman, The Jewish Times"Beaty is a consummate entertainer. Beaty is a mesmerizing presence. Beaty has them in his pocket. On opening night, they responded with an enthusiastic ovation."

RIISE – Resources in Independent School Education puts systems in place for independent schools to protect, attract and retain families. This initiative supports the efforts of schools to further their accomplishments around diversity and inclusion.
Authentic partnership between families and Independent Schools is a core component in well-balanced retention of children of color. Families work diligently during the rigorous application process to gain entrance and the work must continue to provide a healthy and well-balanced environment for producing critical thinkers.
RIISE is a resource for families attending independent schools to help them navigate the richly dynamic academic and social community. This responsibility can’t be solely placed on our children. Whether you are a family of African, Asian, Latin, Native American, Middle Eastern, Pan-Asian descent; a multiracial family,a family of children of color, or an ally in making and maintaining richly diverse independent schools, RIISE is here for you!
RIISE welcomes you to enjoy and make use of our virtual community and live events. Schools and parents can take advantage of all of our resources by getting involved as members.
