For over 110 years, Ascension has provided an excellent Catholic education in the spirit of love, kindness and respect. Our community supports and understands the value of Catholic education and is dedicated to the academic, social and spiritual growth of our children. Our goal is to create a positive atmosphere where students can grow in a safe, challenging and faith-filled learning environment.
With an average student to teacher ratio of 13:1, our faculty has the opportunity to work with our students individually to help them achieve their academic goals. The Ascension faculty and staff understands that students learn and develop in different ways and they strive to support their student’s needs.
Ascension School believes that children deserve a well-rounded education that enriches their minds, bodies and souls. Ascension provides outstanding fine and performing arts programs and extracurricular athletic programs that promote teamwork, community and
inclusion.
To support the ever-changing technology needs, every classroom has access to iPads and chrome books. Students of every age are also exposed to comprehensive STEM opportunities. Beginning in preschool, Ascension encourages every child to think deeply
about the world around them. In the 2021– 2022 school year, Ascension School was proud to be recognized as a Museum of Science and Industry School Partner.
Ascension School offers both full and half-day programs for our preschool children. The preschooler’s day focuses on socialization, reading readiness and literacy skills, small motor and large motor development and learning independence. Ascension School also has an Extended Day Program which offers before school and after school care for our preschool to grade 8 students.
