Ascent
Academy
Ascent Academy will provide K-8 individualized, evidence-based education grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis principles. In small classes, students will engage in hands-on academic and community-based learning supported by proactive, positive behavior practices. We will build each learner’s academic, communication, social, self-regulation, and independent-living skills while honoring individual strengths, dignity, and potential.
