Our
Philosophy
Ascension Catholic believes the commitment
to continuous improvement is imperative if
our school is going to enable students to
become confident, self-directed, lifelong
learners. Teachers, administrators,
parents, and the community share the
responsibility for advancing the mission
of Ascension Catholic. Ascension Catholic accepts the
responsibility for educating and
developing students. Ascension Catholic is committed to
providing opportunities for the growth of
the whole person.
Religious education classes provide
cognitive, affective, and behavior
knowledge of God and the Catholic faith.
Regularly scheduled prayer and worship —
both private and communal — allow for
spiritual growth.
Academic excellence is pursued through the
study of curriculum. Curriculum and
instructional practices incorporate a
variety of learning activities to assure
intellectual progress of all students.
Required service projects encourage social
interaction with the community as well as
stewardship. Students are challenged to
desire the good of others as the most
important value guiding social
decision-making.
Self-esteem and emotional health are
enhanced by positive relationships and
mutual respect among and between students
and staff. By fostering respect for the
dignity of each human person, including
oneself, students recognize their creation
in the image of God.
Physical education classes (Grades K-8)
assist in the health and well being of the
students. Students are encouraged to
participate in the multifaceted athletic
program (available to grades 5-t2) that
not only assists in physical fitness but
also promotes a sense of competition,
teamwork and fair play.
"Ascension Catholic believes the

self-directed, lifelong learners."
