The Rite Foundation offers programs for children
of different ages/school grade levels.
Cool Enough for SchoolThis program is targeted toward 1st and 2nd graders. Key points covered are the importance of breakfast, the importance of a good night’s sleep, classroom etiquette, a time for work and a time for play, handling homework, and social skills (teasing, etc.) |
Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies
To improve overall fitness and improve mind/body awareness, the Healthy Bodies/Healthy Minds program teaches body movement, breathing techniques and mindfulness. Using poses named after animals, inanimate objects and things found in nature, the student increases their physical health and strength while also learning about the science in their bodies. These science-backed techniques also help teach the child self-regulation that extends to improved academics and fewer discipline problems in the classroom.

Dreaming GirlsThis program is for girls entering 6th or 7th grade. |
Rite NowThis program is taught in part by graduates of the Foundations to Adulthood program. Key points covered include what to expect in High School, mastering study skills, HOPE Scholarships and GPA, extra curricular activities, and the importance of community service. |
Foundations of AdulthoodBudgeting, Cooking, Managing your personal health. These are all a part of being an adult. While high schools may provide academic preparation, many youth are not prepared to live on their own. Learning in advance the skills one needs allows time towards the end of high school to practice those skills in a supportive environment while still living at home. Additionally the youth are asked to perform a service project so that they can begin now to learn to impact the world around them.
The final event of this program is a Rites of Passage ceremony that celebrates the growth shown in the program and gives a public forum for the Community to accept its incoming contributors. |
