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.

Visual Arts

River Ranch Campus

In preschool, students create paintings, drawings, sculpture, and collage. They participate in individual and group art activities. Sometimes students have free creative expression, and sometimes the project is teacher directed.

Downtown Campus

The Downtown Art program is a place where everyone's efforts are celebrated. It is a place of thinking, planning, inventing, doing, and enjoyment. The students will not only come away with a mixture of artistic formulas, but a fearless creative approach to making art.

Lower School Art introduces many mediums, ideas, materials and skills. Students are encouraged to be creative as they gain confidence with materials and processes. Underlying the classroom lessons and presentations are the foundational Principals and Elements of Design.

As the students progress from Grade One to Grade Four, they will gain many skills, and insights--weaving, gluing, cutting, constructing, designing, sketching, painting techniques, drawing, utilizing a full vocabulary of art, and intelligently discussing their work and that of their classmates.

Middle School Art-5-7th grade students will explore different media such as charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, and clay. This course will introduce the elements and principles of design as well as color theory to create concepts for drawings, paintings, mixed media and sculptures.
