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.

Freaky Friday, The Musical

Sugar Mill Pond Theatre Program proudly announces they will be performing Freaky Friday, The Musical at the Acadiana Center for the Arts on October 25-27, 2018. When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic.

Ascension 2018 Football Preview

The Daily Advertiser: For a team that's got a lot of holes to fill in 2018, there's one position where the Blue Gators are loaded. That's at wide receiver, where three starters return, led by senior Seth Kerstetter. Not only can they catch the ball, this unit has the ability to play a role in the running game as well. The receivers make up half of the six returning starters offensively. The good news is that doesn't even include sophomore tackle Clay Ancelet and senior running back Jhalen Brown, who both got valuable varsity experience as reserves last season.
