Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school, but they are not learning. In Sierra Leone and Liberia, research shows that even among young women who have completed primary school, more than 90% are unable to read a simple sentence. We want to change that. Rising Academies is a growing network of inspiring schools in West Africa. Our students develop excellent literacy, numeracy and spoken English as the foundation for success in further study, work and day-to-day life. Independent evaluations have found that Rising students make 2 to 3 times as much progress in reading and maths in one year as their peers in other schools.
What Rising Academies are doing in the world is simply incredible. They are on a mission to ensure that more children across the world are in school, are learning and are thriving. So far they have built a network of inspiring schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ghana, where independent evaluations have found that rising students make 2 to 3 times as much progress in reading and maths in one year as their peers in other schools. They are also a certified B Corp, and a great place to work if you are passionate about making a difference in the world.
