Innovation in Teaching
The development of personalized learning opportunities for students begins with innovative teaching practices.

Professional learning opportunities enable faculty and staff to explore new technology tools, enhance curriculum design, and amplify student engagement. -
Innovation in Learning
Ascension strives to teach and provide opportunities for students to be good digital citizens and utilize technology in a safe, responsible manner. Students engage in real-world problems by collaborating with others in the classroom and across the world. They communicate with peers, parents, and communities through student newscasts and live streams. Students are inspired, challenged, and prepared for success through experiences fostering creativity, collaboration, and cross-cultural awareness. -
Innovation in Environment
The three Ascension campuses are designed to offer an educational environment that works best for each student. Rolling desks, interactive TVs, whiteboard tables, and workstations for students are a few examples of our innovative learning spaces.

In collaborative, learner-centered spaces, students experience authentic, hands-on learning experiences through a balanced approach to technology.

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. Our faculty and staff focus on developing the whole child, with a curriculum designed to teach lifelong learning skills.
