Ascend Public Charter Schools


March 24, 2026

As a parent, you want a high school that challenges your child, supports them, and prepares them to embrace a life of boundless choice after graduation.

At Brooklyn Ascend High School (BAHS), families can expect exactly that.

With the release of our new 2026–27 Course Catalog, you can explore an academic experience designed to build strong thinkers, confident leaders, and young adults ready to take on what comes next—whether that’s college, career, or another meaningful path.

A Strong Foundation for the Future
At BAHS, every student follows a rigorous, college-preparatory program that develops critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills across all subjects. Over four years, students progress from foundational coursework to advanced classes, including eight Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

Just as important, students receive structured support along the way:

  • SAT preparation is built into the school day

  • AP exams are fully covered at no cost to families

  • Dedicated advising that helps students plan for life after high school

Our goal is simple: every student graduates with real options and the preparation to pursue them with confidence.

A Place Where Students Discover Who They Are
High school is a time for students to explore their interests and grow into themselves.

At BAHS, your child can do just that through athletics, the arts, and student-led organizations. Whether they’re performing in a theater production, competing on a team, or leading a club, students build confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

Learning That Connects to the Real World
Students at Ascend don’t just learn content, they apply it. Across subjects, students complete research projects, present their ideas, and engage in meaningful work that builds independence and purpose. Many also take advantage of opportunities that expand their horizons, from scholarships to travel experiences to early exposure to professional environments.These experiences help students see what’s possible, and begin shaping their own path forward.

A Community That Partners with Families
When families choose BAHS, they’re joining a school community that knows students well and supports them closely. Through advisory and strong relationships with teachers, students receive consistent guidance throughout high school, academically, socially, and as they plan for life after graduation.
