My child attends Ascension Lutheran School and we absolutely love this private, Christian school! The small class sizes and multi-grade classrooms have improved my son's learning capabilities in a safe, Christian environment. The teachers and administrative faculty are focused on nurturing each student's learning process which has proven helpful with my son.

My child has grown immensely since entering this school. His teacher, Mrs. Carbon, focuses on his individual needs and customizes his academics. The multi-grade classrooms have helped my son prepare for and review lessons. We have open communication directly with the Principal and staff.
