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.

Giving

Working Together to Achieve Balanced Excellence

  Each year our community donates between 7-8% of our operating budget, and tuition dollars cover the rest.

through our Parent Support Organizations

Parent Teacher Organization

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)raises money to fund community-building events (picnics, parties, teacher appreciation) and to support the professional development of our faculty (training, luncheons, conferences, bonuses). Additionally, depending on if we are fundraising in a "blue" or "white" year, the PTO will fund one school-wide project or one project per campus. Fundraising events include events, auctions, and raffles.
Learn more about the Parent Teacher Organization.

Fine Arts Alliance

The Fine Arts Allianceraises money to fund visual arts, music, theatre and media literacy programs across all three campuses. Funds are raised through membership, ticket sales, and special events.

Booster Club

And through the Ascension Fund

Covering what our event fundraisers don't

After all of the restricted giving, we still have bills to pay, and that's where the Ascension Fund's unrestricted donations come in. Ascension Fund donations pay the remaining expenses for facilities, professional development, community outreach, tuition assistance, and debt reduction.

The 2018-2019 Ascension Fund campaign kicked off with "30 Days of Giving". Read more about it.

In The News

When it comes to our children, one of the most important gifts we can provide for them is opportunity. It not only prepares them for their future, but also gives them the independence to discover and define who they are: who they want to be. At Ascension Episcopal School, opportunity comes in the form of a faith-filled environment of academic excellence. Our faculty and staff focus on developing the whole child, with a curriculum designed to teach lifelong learning skills.
