Educational Excellence
in a Christian Environment
Rooted in Faith. Driven by Excellence.
Since 1959, for more than 65 years, Ascension has been a leader in educational excellence within a Christian environment. Rooted in faith and tradition, our Mission remains steadfast: to nurture students into individuals who are gentle, generous, truthful, kind, and brave.
At Ascension, we believe one of the greatest gifts we can offer our children is opportunity—the chance to grow, to explore, and to become. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to developing the whole child—academically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. We equip students with the skills and mindset for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and purpose.

What's the Ascension Advantage?
At Ascension Episcopal School, the Ascension Advantage lies in our balanced, whole-child approach—where rigorous academics are integrated with fine arts, athletics, and faith to cultivate confident, compassionate leaders. What distinguishes us is our commitment to nurturing each student as an individual: spiritually, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
Distinct in our mission and impact, we nurture each child, cultivating intellectual curiosity, emotional resilience, moral courage, and leadership grounded in Christian values. Our exceptional faculty serve not only as educators but as mentors and role models who know, challenge, and champion every student -- building lasting relationships, guiding with purpose, and helping students discover who they are and what they can become.
In an environment rooted in Christian values and personal connection, students are empowered to excel and encouraged to lead—not just in school, but in life. This is the difference families invest in—and the reason Ascension is more than a school; it’s a transformative community.
