We have all heard it said, "Your faith and core values begin at home."  We choose Catholic education because we know that our faith and family values are further strengthened by our children attending Catholic schools, creating a very solid foundation for them. Isn't that what we are called to do as the adults responsible for their formation and because we love them and care about their future? We can work together and make this happen.

Diversity, Solidarity and Unity Statement

Ascend is committed to our diverse community, we believe in unity and respect across race, gender, age and economic factors. This commitment is critical to achieving a future where any family who wants to access Catholic School Education can have that opportunity.

• We strive to ensure that our tuition award distributions are equitable regardless of a student or family’s race, ethnicity, faith, culture, language, or disability.
• Operate with the knowledge that certain communities are significantly under-represented in the Catholic school system and there are disparities for those communities that make Catholic school education more difficult to access.
• Pursue effective strategies and devote dedicated time and resources to address these disparities.

These efforts are performed in the knowledge Catholic school teachers, staff, students and their families have unique experiences rooted in and affected by all aspects of life. We believe that the more we unite and work towards solidarity the stronger, more vibrant, and more effective our Catholic Schools will become.
