Academics

From the very beginning, our goal at Ascension has been to teach lifelong learning skills at each grade level, while adapting the curriculum to meet the varying formative stages present within each student.

Athletics

Athletics, an important part of the Ascension experience, teach fundamentals, techniques, and sportsmanship. Students learn life lessons such as teamwork, dedication, and responsibility and practice respect for opponents and the rules. They develop the ability to win and lose with grace.

Fine Arts

Ascension offers an amazing opportunity for a fine arts education — music, theater, drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic design. Let us help you to find your talent.

Worship

Worship services and Christian Education classes provide opportunities for our students to deepen their relationships with God.

Global Reading Day in 1st Grade

Our Downtown campus first grade students participated in their first-ever Google Hangout this week. Our Gators eagerly connected with other first grade students in Illinois to discuss a book both classes read, Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book. They were able to virtually ask questions to each other, and share details with each other about their cities & cultures. Great job to our first grade teachers, Allison Fuselier and Patti Stevenson for facilitating a wonderful learning opportunity for our students.
