Ascension reflects the values and culture of South Louisiana where love of family, faith traditions and celebrating the "joie de vivre" are evident in every aspect of student life. We value developmentally appropriate values and goals; each student's individuality as a child of God; a positive self image; Christian morals and teachings in the Episcopal tradition; the ability to think creatively and critically; a curriculum that maximizes each student's potential; a teaching environment that is exciting, challenging and fun; the development of a healthy body; the enjoyment of the fine arts; a school community that fosters respect and open communication; a safe, secure environment; a diverse community; a home and school partnership; and parental support in word and deed.
