Ascend will consider 11-18 year old applicants (6th-12th grade)
Among a number of criteria, the following guidelines may be used to determine whether Ascend is a good fit for the applicant:
The student will participate in one of two tracks, determined primarily by age, as well as by mutual agreement between the student, parents, and Ascend representatives. Several factors will be considered with the primary objective of providing the best environment for the readiness of the student.
There are multiple types of classes available: Liber Studies, Stand Alone, and Elective. The Liber Studies class includes a multi-year curriculum in English, History/Social Studies, Leadership, Science and Math. The stand alone classes are: Science, History, and Writing. Elective classes will be offered at times other than weekday mornings, and include Foreign Language and Art.
Tuition includes the enrollment fee for the corresponding class and mentor meetings: a minimum of one (1) every other week. It does not include books, supplies, or other expenses associated with occasional excursions (such as field trips) away from campus. Tuition does not include Elective class fees, which are determined on a class-by-class basis.
