Ascending together
Ascend is designed to fit seamlessly into the school building by fostering meaningful collaboration with school and district personnel and creatively configuring auxiliary spaces for 1:1 instruction.
Transforming a school - one student at a time.
We recognize and appreciate our classroom teachers, who work diligently to meet the needs of each student. Our teacher partners are our most valuable allies in the fight to close the gaps for our highest-need students. That is why building and maintaining a strong partnership and open communication between school staff and our in-school teams is so important. Ascend is designed to fit seamlessly into the school environment and school culture, promoting growth for adults and students alike.

The Learning Station
A dedicated space for 1:1 instruction
We are reimagining the physical design of learning spaces for our highest-need students within the school building. The result? A fully immersive learning experience that yields deeper student engagement and leads to more “a ha!” moments.
Ascend’s innovative Learning Stations are the first and only learning spaces specifically designed for 1:1 instruction for our lowest performers. Each week, students participate in 90 minutes of highly-individualized instruction during the school day within the Learning Station.
We ask students to open themselves to new strategies and make mistakes. This can be especially difficult when students feel pressure from their peers in the classroom. Learning Stations are specifically designed to facilitate the development of supportive relationships with their Learning Coaches and empower students to explore their strengths and areas of growth.
Personalized materials allow students to bridge successes from previous sessions and promote ownership of their learning space.
A variety of math manipulatives are always within students’ reach to support their number sense development, from the concrete to abstract phases. Students’ are encouraged to try different tools for each task and discover what works best for their unique learning profile.
