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.
