Meet the Curriculum Designer

Hi, I'm Ellery.

As a homeschool parent and educator with a Master's Degree in Education, I created Rise & Learn Curriculum to provide families with structured, affordable, and easy-to-use educational resources.

Every workbook and curriculum resource is designed with real students and real homeschool families in mind.

Rise & Learn is built on a mastery-based approach to learning, helping students develop strong academic foundations through purposeful practice, review, and skill development.

Our open-and-go format makes teaching simple for busy parents while providing clear, structured lessons students can confidently follow.

The intentionally simple black-and-white design is not an accident. Each page is purposefully created to reduce distractions, eliminate unnecessary clutter, and help students focus on learning the skills that matter most.

Rather than filling pages with fluff or busywork, Rise & Learn emphasizes meaningful practice, strong foundational skills, and lasting understanding.

My mission is to create curriculum that is easy to teach, focused on mastery, and designed to grow with families from Preschool through High School.
