Job Description
Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school - but they are not learning. A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality. At Rising Academies, we're changing that, and we want your help. Our mission is to create the best schools and the most powerful teaching and learning tools for the people who need it most. We're one of the fastest-growing quality-focused

to children kept out of school by the Ebola Epidemic before opening our first school in April 2015. Today, we serve more than 250,000 students across more than 1000 schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, and now Rwanda.
And we get results: independent studies show Rising students make more than twice the progress of their peers in comparable schools. In June 2024, one of our private schools in Sierra Leone - Rising Academy Waterloo - was shortlisted in the Top 10 for the World's Best School Prizes in the Overcoming Adversity category. Sierra Leone's Minister for Basic and Senior Secondary Education, Hon. Mr. Conrad Sackey, helped announce this honor.
