Culture


Our public elementary schools provide a warm and supportive culture for all our elementary students across Brooklyn. Our classrooms nurture students' sense of belonging and foster children's social and emotional competencies. The strong relationship between teachers and students is at the core of fostering a positive and impactful learning environment. ​

In class, our students and teachers gather to greet one another, share news, and warm-up for the day ahead. Students learn social skills – cooperation, assertion, responsibilities, empathy, and self-control – that allow them to succeed academically and socially. 

Cultivating Growth From an Elementary Age


Beginning in Kindergarten, Ascend's Brooklyn lower schools establish a foundation of strong basic skills in early literacy, a conceptual understanding of math, critical thinking, intellectual drive, and enthusiasm for learning.

An extended school day provides for more time devoted to instruction and for a broad, rich curriculum that includes — in addition to English language arts and mathematics — science, social studies, music, the visual arts, physical education, and dance. Ascend’s curriculum blends teacher-led instruction and college-style discussion from the earliest grades.

Literacy


Ascend is dedicated to fostering exceptional literacy skills and an appreciation for literature. We use a curriculum founded on robust research and proven phonics methods, which centers on inquiry-based learning in the humanities. Students actively participate in daily read-alouds, independent reading, and writing, – all contextualized within the rich tapestry of social studies content. In addition, we provide expansive classroom libraries that are meticulously curated with a diverse array of children's books that students love. Our approach empowers students to explore their evolving interests and fuel their intellectual curiosity. ​

Math


The K-4 math program engages students in daily problem solving and sense making using Number Stories. We develop students who are deft problem solvers, capable of achieving at the highest level of mathematics, and who have a knack for interpreting their world mathematically. 

Science


Our science program integrates rich content with well-conceived inquiry experiments, project-based learning, and engaging texts. Students develop as lifelong scientific thinkers as they work to “figure out” versus “learn about” relevant, meaningful real-world concepts. Through this process, students are empowered as the knowers and doers of science equipped with skills that mirror those of professional scientists and engineers. Each grade level contains units in Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science.
