About us > Where We Work
Our innovation hub - Bond Hill Academy
By design, Ascend started small, with the goal of observing, studying, and refining our model and curriculum. Meet Bond Hill Academy, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the place where it all began. As we expand, Bond Hill continues to play a pivotal role in how we test curriculum locally to ensure a scalable impact.
