Moonrise is a world where kids build things and learn togther.

Risers are kids who learn differently. They question things and think for themselves. Moonrise is for risers ages 5-15. It’s a world where they can be creative and free.

Moonrise is for risers ages 5-15. Blended age groups reinforce learning as older risers help younger ones.

No. Risers learn best when they are surrounded by people of different ages.

No. Moonrise is a world, not a school. Our culture empowers creativity and agency in our risers, and we believe those are the most valuable skills in life.

Guides are creative learning professionals at Moonrise. Think of them as personal trainers for the mind. They get to know our risers, show them how to use our tools, host workshops and member events, and motivate them to push past limits. We pay them well, invest in their growth, and give them autonomy to do their best work.

We look for guides who have a magic quality with kids. They motivate without being pushy. They model our values and gain energy from being with our risers. They thrive in open-ended environments without rigid structure and rules. Every guide goes through our training program, which includes reading our guidebook and spending at least one week on the job before they are hired on salary.

We average a 10:1 ratio.

Yes, our guides host creative workshops every day. But the real magic of Moonrise is unstructured learning, just like the real world.

Workshops are creative projects that empower risers to learn by doing. Our guides host a new workshop every day, covering a wide array of skills like engineering, podcasting, and painting.

Absolutely! Just email us and we’ll make it happen.

Risers can bring friends (and their younger or older siblings) to any Family Sunday on the last Sunday of every month.

Family Sundays are events where family and friends come together to learn and play. Enjoy a game of Giant Jenga with your neighbor, create a podcast with your son or daughter, or paint a masterpiece with your little ones.
