  • Step 1: Inquire

    Complete our online inquiry form. A member of our team will then reach out to you to discuss academic and co-curricular offerings at Ascension and answer additional questions.

    The application fee will be waived for any applicant that meets at least one of the following criteria listed below. Please notify the Director of Admissions if you qualify for one of these three prior to applying for admission:
      * Qualified parishioner of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension
      * Sibling of a current student at Ascension Episcopal School
      * Immediate family member of an Ascension Episcopal School or Ascension Day School former student (alumnus)
     
    Qualified parishioners of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension as well as legacies of former Ascension Episcopal School or Ascension Day School students will be given priority during the admissions process should space be available in the applicant's grade level.

    Note: Admissions testing will be scheduled after your application is submitted. 

  • Step 4: Shadow

    After submitting your application, our team member will contact you to schedule a date for your child to experience Ascension by shadowing one of our students. Students typically visit with their current grade level. 

  • Step 5: Decision

    In mid-January, Ascension issues re-enrollment contracts to our current families. At the end of January, new enrollment contracts are issued based on availability in each grade level and acceptance.
