Education is a spiral process by which new information is assimilated with existing knowledge. To that end, at Ascend we structure our classrooms and curricula to generate questions and inspire curious minds. In our classrooms, teachers model and require inquiry based thinking, planning, implementation and reflection as part of every lesson. Through this process, students learn how to investigate topics thoroughly and gain a comprehensive understanding of each subject area. Rigorous academic skills are embedded in the context of this inquiry-based work. Our classrooms create reflective and analytical learners who develop thinking habits that make them interested and interesting students.
