Ascend Public Charter Schools
Ascend is a network of Kindergarten through grade 12 public charter schools rooted in Brooklyn that honor, nurture, and challenge the whole child.
Uncompromising Commitment to Students
We know all students are inherently excellent. Our role is to provide students with a K-12 education that empowers them to live a life of boundless choice. We foster critical thinking skills and a love of learning through our approach to literacy grounded in the Science of Reading, inquiry-based learning, Responsive Classroom model, and anti-racist education. We are deeply committed to advancing educational equity for all our students.
2024-25 Family Handbooks
We foster a tight-knit, responsive community of teachers, families, and students who value their relationships with one another. Family communication and engagement is essential to our ability to serve you and your child(ren). Our Family Handbook details our expectations, policies, and procedures for students and families. Here, you will find information that will support our work together.
