SAFE. SUPPORTED. SUCCESSFUL.
At Ascend, we are there for our students as a support system and as their advocates. With our blended learning model, students learn at their own pace using our online Apex curriculum, while having certified teachers in the classrooms, using one-on-one strategies, to help students navigate and master the content. Our curriculum meets each student at their academic level while challenging them to grow.
Our culture is built on empowering youth, believing in them, and challenging them to do their very best. Our supportive and encouraging environment shows students they have the smarts and are capable of succeeding as long as they apply themselves.
WHY ASCEND ACADEMY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL
Our blended learning allows student to learn at their pace with online 24-hour accessibility. Certified teachers are readily available in class to assist students in achieving content mastery.
Our encouraging environment enables students to do their very best. Not only is this evident in their grades, but it also helps students realize their capabilities and potential.
Our zero-tolerance approach and inclusive environment creates a safe, secure, and worry-free environment that empowers students and focuses them on their academics while they do their best work, and build strong relationships with each other.
Faculty and staff are committed to being there for students, supporting and advocating for them – no matter the life events or circumstances. We share the same goal of championing student success.
We know the challenges that our students are often facing. We provide resources, direction, and guidance to open the door to opportunities and ensure their needs are met.
We provide mentors so students may restore faith and hope for their futures. Whether students want to go to college or pursue a career, we will help them formulate a plan to move toward their goals.

“I FEEL SAFE AT SCHOOL”
When we ask our students why they are here at Ascend, the number one answer we hear is, “I feel safe.” We have zero tolerance for bullying, and students know they can turn to our teachers and leadership if they ever have a concern.

Our students, staff and guests have wraparound security that keeps everyone safe, 24 hours a day.

“The vision of Ascend Academy Charter High School has not wavered from its original concept: individualize student learning plans, provide an impeccably clean, secure environment, and hire staff who effectively combine curriculum content and compassion every day. It’s simple. And it works. Just ask our graduates.”
