Coastal Rise is currently in a listening and development phase, with a potential launch for the 2027–2028 school year.

This timeline allows space to thoughtfully build the program, connect with families, and ensure the right foundation is in place.

Coastal Rise is being developed in the Beaufort / Crystal Coast area of North Carolina.

The goal is to create a learning environment that is deeply connected to the local community and coastal ecosystems, using both indoor and outdoor spaces in meaningful ways.

There are several ways to be part of this process:

• Join the interest list to stay updated 
• Share your perspective as a parent or educator 
• Connect me with local spaces, organizations, or resources 
• Help spread the word within the community 

This work is being shaped through real conversations, and your input truly matters.

Coastal Rise is in an early planning and community-building phase.

This includes connecting with families, exploring potential locations, and continuing to shape the vision based on real needs and feedback.

Coastal Rise is being designed for students who benefit from hands-on, experiential learning and a more personalized environment.

It may be a strong fit for children who are curious, creative, or not fully thriving in traditional school settings.

Updates will be shared through email and occasional posts on the website and social platforms.

Joining the interest list is the best way to stay informed as things continue to take shape.
