Rising Sun

Building Character. Inspiring Courage. Forming Leaders. WHERE COURAGE, CHARACTER, AND LEADERS RISE

Benedict Arnold; one of the most complicated figures of the American Revolution.

Not every historical figure is easy to study.

Some force us to wrestle with hard questions:
What builds character? What breaks trust? How does pride change a person’s path?

At Rising Sun, our children don’t just learn the heroes of history — they learn the whole story.

Because history shapes discernment. And discernment shapes leaders.

When children truly understand history, it doesn’t stay on the page. It lives in them. And moments like this remind us: history is not just being taught here it’s taking root. 🔔

Betsy Ross reminds us that you don’t have to be a soldier to make a difference. You can use your skills, your ideas, and your courage to help shape history. And because of her… we have a symbol that still stands for freedom today.

The Mitchell Family: “Book club has been a true gift to my family! I am an avid reader myself, but I have not made reading to my elementary-aged kids a regular habit in my house in a long time. Since beginning Rising Sun, I’ve prioritized reading to the big kids right before bedtime, and now we honestly look forward to it every day. As to not jump ahead in chapters by the end of the week for book club, we’ve even added a second book to our rotation in the evenings.

I cherish this quality time with my kids, especially knowing all the benefits of reading aloud to children. Another bonus is that I get to relearn history right along with them, which I’m enjoying so much more now as an adult. The book selection has been fantastic, as well! Rising Sun has really been such a blessing to our family—a serendipitous gift!”

At Rising Sun, our children don’t just learn history… they lead it! Every week, a child steps forward to teach the group about a historical figure. They research. They prepare. They stand before their peers and lead.

And something powerful happens.

They begin to take ownership of their learning! They learn how to gather information and make it their own.
They practice speaking with clarity and courage. They grow in confidence—one presentation at a time.

This isn’t just about history.
It’s about raising children who can think, speak, and lead.

Because when a child realizes, “I can stand up and teach others,”
it changes how they see themselves.

And that changes everything.

Doan Gang Outlaws of the Revolution! We had a blast exploring Mercer Museum today & learning all about the Loyalist thieves & spies!

The past inspires the present!
And today’s learners are tomorrow’s history-makers!

Today Emma taught us all the powerful story of Mercy Otis Warren and how words matter—how voices (even young ones!) and writing can shape the future of a nation. History didn’t feel old today… it felt alive and personal.

And then…
We launched a top-secret spy unit—so secret we literally can’t tell you about it. Let’s just say: codes were cracked, missions were underway, and curiosity was running high.
