Outstanding! What a wholesome gem of good honest values and teaching methods that work, encircled in Christ's love for us to share with others. We absolutely love the school and the staff!!
This is a great school if you are looking for a small Lutheran setting with conservative Christian values and leadership. Ascension offers amazing things for being a school of about 80 students. Classes are multiple grades, with K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 being the groupings. As kids move up grade to grade, they go from being the younger kids in a class to being the older kids, so they get to have older students as examples some years, and then the following year they get to be the leaders and examples themselves. They also can be challenged in this way. For Ascension's small size, they also have great sport's programs. Last year, in a Lutheran league of 17 schools - some with as many as 500 kids - Ascension was in the final four in both soccer and volleyball, had a 18-8 boys basketball record, and went to Nationals.
This is the best Lutheran School I have ever been involved with. The kids are all friends of each other... there are no separate groups, and rarely are kids left out. It is amazing the hours that the teachers put in at Ascension. The sports program is also great - and there are no cuts - and everyone plays in every game. Ascension also has amazing ISTEP standardized test scores every year, takes great Indiana History, Outdoor Ed, and Washington, D.C. trips, and really makes the kids get the best experience possible. In sports this last year, Ascension was in the final four of soccer and volleyball, and was one of two schools to go to the Lutheran National Basketball Tournament in Valporaiso, Indiana. The trip was supported in full by the parents group, the principal, and the board of ed. In Track, the kids are winning every meet! A+ Ascension!
