Preschool Lower School Middle School Upper School
Worship
As the largest ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Christian principles are the foundation of the school. The school includes as key parts of its curriculum worship, religious education and community service. While we are an Episcopal school, our faith-based instruction is intended to serve persons of all origins, backgrounds and religions. A conscious effort is made to include all students, to foster respect and appreciation for the faith of all, and to honor the various religious traditions reflected in the school community. Each student attends daily chapel services and is encouraged to deepen their relationship with God. These principles are taught through practical teachings and examples illustrating leadership, strong moral character, self discipline and community service.

School Prayer

O Heavenly Father, who has given us Thy Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Redeemer and friend: help us to understand His friendship, and to do such things that will please Him. Bless us in our work and our play. Make us gentle, generous, truthful, kind and brave. Keep us in purity of heart, and let the life of our school go on from strength to strength and have its place in Thy Kingdom: all of which we ask through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
 
This prayer was written by Rev. Charles Rodney Smith and is recited each day in Chapel. Rev.Smith served as Headmaster of Ascension Day School from 1976-1979.
