Uncompromising Commitment to Students


We know all students are inherently excellent. Our role is to provide students with a K-12 education that empowers them to live a life of boundless choice. We foster critical thinking skills and a love of learning through our approach to literacy grounded in the Science of Reading, inquiry-based learning, Responsive Classroom model, and anti-racist education. We are deeply committed to advancing educational equity for all our students.

Family Handbooks


We foster a tight-knit, responsive community of teachers, families, and students who value their relationships with one another. Family communication and engagement is essential to our ability to serve you and your child(ren). Our Family Handbook details our expectations, policies, and procedures for students and families. Here, you will find information that will support our work together.

Student-Centered Learning


Ascend schools provide a joyful, inquiry-based learning environment where students develop their full potential. Students are encouraged to think critically, discover their own opinions, identity, and voice, and learn from one another.

Beautiful School Facilities


We operate safe, clean, bright facilities that show respect for students. All schools are housed in inviting, custom-built or newly renovated buildings that are independently located. Schools consist of colorful, well-lit classrooms with large, modern gymnasiums. Our beautiful facilities provide a warm welcoming environment for students and families. 

Lower Schools


Beginning in kindergarten, Ascend lower schools prioritize the development of foundational skills in early literacy, conceptual understanding of math, critical thinking, intellectual drive, and a love of learning.
