5 DAY A WEEK PROGRAM

Ascend is designed to be a 5 day a week program, with 3 days on campus (Mon, Tue, and Thurs) and 2 days at home to dig deep academically and to prepare for class. Our educational model is designed to function remarkably when all students come to class having prepared themselves with all the reading and assignments for each class. There is an important synergy and energy that happens when students come prepared to discuss and participate deeply. Contrast that to the deflation that occurs in a classroom when students are unprepared and unengaged. We are committed to creating the best educational experience possible, and this requires students prioritizing their education and dedicating the necessary time to do so.

You will be expected to structure your time at home to dig deep academically and be prepared for classes. Please work together with your parents to decide the best way to do this. You will be expected to put in the necessary time at home to accomplish all your reading and assignments so you can come to class prepared and ready to participate fully, allowing you incredible growth in your life and education.

We request full parent support in structuring undistracted, dedicated time at home to accomplish the reading and assignments so that students can come prepared for every class.
