HIGH SCHOOL
ages 14-18
As a college preparatory school, the RISR curriculum allows students to identify and develop their individual interests and strengths. Our high school (HS) program is designed to prepare students for success in their university,career, and community beyond high school.
Our mission is to graduate “successful, balanced, and compassionate individuals.” RISR’s unique STREAM approach combines American, standards-based coursework with a holistic approach to developing the skills students need to thrive in the 21st century: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and citizenship skills.
Curriculum Overview
Courses and lessons are structured to make sure students are engaged, challenged, and guided to become independent learners. The STREAM approach guarantees that students have a broad range of courses in science and social sciences, technology, recreation, engineering, arts and languages, and math. Throughout, students use an inquiry-based approach to learning that deepens their understanding and skills. Students are engaged in various learning experiences, including courses in the disciplines of English, History, Modern Languages, Math, Science, Physical Education and Health, Fine Arts and the Performing Arts. We also offer AP courses for our students.
Our High School has a great breadth of programs for students to join, build relationships, gain unique experiences, establish a sense of community and learn to become global citizens. These include Week Without Walls, Student Leadership, a variety of student-initiated clubs and projects.
At RISR, HS students go beyond the classroom to participate in competitive athletic programs, which compete domestically and internationally, as well as our thriving school band and drama.

Students in Grade 9 and Grade 10 build a strong foundation in English, mathematics, science, and social sciences, with elective classes creating cross-curricular learning opportunities. Electives include physical education, drama or fine arts, additional modern languages, Thai, or STEM. In Grade 11 and Grade 12, students continue to build their knowledge and skills by choosing from a selection of courses to meet the requirements for the high school diploma. RISR will over Advanced Placement (AP) courses initially and seek authorization to offer the same choice of diploma pathways as RIS.
In combination with its focus on academics, the high school at RISR emphasizes character education and a commitment to the community. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are embedded throughout the curriculum to inspire students to think broadly and become leaders to demonstrate “compassion through action” in line with our vision. All high school students will complete an internship or externship experience, community service, and a capstone project to connect their learning to the local community.
