Ascension Christian exists to serve the spiritual and educational needs of a growing community.
Ascension Christian believes each student is an individual creation of a loving God.
Our programs are designed to provide skills that enable students to become valuable and productive individuals within society.
Each student has individual strengths, which we strive to develop through our various educational programs.
The total curriculum strives to embrace the student's life intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually.
We believe that man's understanding of himself and others as well as his relationship with God and his fellow man are a reflection of this balance.
The mission of St. John Primary and St. Theresa Middle Catholic schools is to serve one another through Catholic values as we strive for spiritual growth and academic excellence.
We, as the faculty, administration and staff, are committed to the religious and academic education of each child to his or her full potential.
We work in partnership with the parents, the primary educators of their child, to guide each child through instruction that promotes acceptance, tolerance, love, individuality, inquiry and success.
