RISE High School: Preparing Confident, Ethical, College-Ready Muslims

Launching next year, RISE High School offers a hands-on, in-person program that combines academic excellence, college readiness, and leadership development with a strong foundation in Islamic values, Qur’anic guidance, and Sunnah-inspired character. Students will experience the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), AP coursework, and a carefully designed pathway that prepares them for university, career success, and lifelong learning.

At RISE, we believe that top-tier academics and strong character go hand in hand. Students engage in rigorous coursework across sciences, mathematics, humanities, and languages, while also developing critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills. Islamic teachings—including Islamic studies, Qur’an, and Arabic language development – offered as a sequence of accredited Arabic courses that meet Washington State’s high school world language graduation requirements—are woven naturally into their high school experience, enhancing their ethical reasoning, personal growth, and global awareness.

RISE High School prepares students to excel in college and beyond, while cultivating confident, principled, and purpose-driven young Muslims ready to make a meaningful impact in the world.

IB graduates are highly sought after by colleges for their academic rigor, critical thinking, and well-rounded character
