RISE Education

Our Story

When RISE Education founder and CEO Angel Li started a family, she wanted to have her children learn Chinese language and culture. She wants them to learn in an environment that is immersive, fun, and engaging. To her chagrin, she discovered no such school existed.

So she started her own, originally called Little Linguists Arts Academy. Within a year, the experiment expanded from Li’s living room to more than 20 schools offering Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu, and Arabic.

Schools began asking if we could help them find music instructors. But instead of just finding a music teacher, we developed a comprehensive music program with a curriculum, a management team, and a talented, qualified, and enthusiastic instructor who delivers! From there, we added art, technology, and physical education programs.

Over the course of a decade, the company became RISE Education and has grown into a comprehensive specialty programs provider with a full range of programs serving private/parochial and public schools, as well as preschools and childcare centers, across the United States.

With our complete program approach, principals and center directors can focus on their schools’ core curriculum, while we take care of the specials. We provide you with a one-stop resource for world languages, art, music, physical education, and technology.
