Ascension
School is a ministry of the faith community of Ascension Parish,
committed to providing excellent education in the spirit, tradition,
and value system of the Catholic Church. Essential to this ministry
is the active partnership among students, parents, faculty, staff
and parishioners. Ascension School provides a curriculum that meets
the present needs of its students and prepares them for high school,
for higher education and for a lifetime of learning. Ascension School
helps each child grow in awareness of the child's individual talents
and unique place within the family of God. Ascension School's mission
is to strengthen its students' understanding and practice of their
faith; to allow them to grow in faith; and to work towards creating,
through their service, a compassionate and just community. This
mission is guided by a philosophy of love, kindness and respect
for each individual, while celebrating our bond in gospel values.
