Where the Love of Learning Begins


The first day of school should feel like a warm welcome, not a cold start. At Ascend, that’s exactly what your child gets.

Our elementary classrooms are built around one belief: every child carries potential worth developing. Your child’s teachers will know them by name from day one. They’ll celebrate their curiosity, support their growth, and create a joyful environment where learning feels like discovery and your child gets the individual attention they deserve.

Subject Spotlight: 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. ​

Subject Spotlight: 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. 

Subject Spotlight: 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 and are equipped with skills that mirror those of professional scientists and engineers. Each grade level contains units in life science, earth science and physical science.
