Non-Discriminatory Statement
Ascension Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
SCHOOL CAMPUS:
The School is located on a campus that includes the main church sanctuary, a building that encompasses two large classrooms & Principal's Office, and a building that houses the kindergarten/1st grade class, Pastor's Office, Secretary's Office and large multi-purpose room. A fourth building is used primarily as the church's Fellowship Hall. A teacherage is located on the campus.
For security a large wall encloses the playground-athletic field which is an integral part of the campus. The school has been serving children and their families with Christian education since 1974. The school offers full time Christian education throughout the school year and covers kindergarten through 8th grade.
CLASS HOURS:
Our Kindergarten is full day. The school day for all grades begins at 8:00am and ends at 3:00pm.
Our school has a traditional school year. (9 months of school, 3 months summer vacation)
OUR CLASSROOMS:
Our school trains children in grades K-8 by providing both an elementary program for grades K-6 and a junior high program for grades 7-8. The faculty consists of teachers who are dedicated to serving the needs of the individual children. The basis of all education is a Christ-centered approach to all areas of our student’s lives. Instruction in God’s Word is provided, as well as a well-rounded curriculum in such subjects as science, mathematics, reading, English, social studies, spelling, handwriting, music, art, and physical education. All of these subjects are taught in light of the principals set forth in God’s Word.
We have three classrooms:
Lower: Grades K-I
Middle: Grades 2-4
Upper: Grades 5-8
Our classroom sizes are around 20 students or less. This small size allows us to more closely observe each child and provide more individualized instruction.
