We are excited to welcome you
Ascend International School
We understand that every child is unique. Every child has strengths and weaknesses. We believe that a good education should grow a child’s strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses through a positive realisation of the benefits of achieving their full potential.
01
Discipline
We believe in discipline as a cornerstone for development, but we also define discipline in a goal-oriented way. At Ascend, expectations from teachers, students and their parents are clearly defined, with positive enforcement employed to direct our students to higher aspirations.
02
Values
Values are at the centre of our institution – we believe that having a healthy understanding of the human being in the picture of creation helps to give every child meaning. We believe that a refusal to acknowledge a Creator opens the door to nihilism or meaninglessness. We therefore endeavour to cultivate faith in a Creator with the different cues in our environment.
The CIRCLE Elements
Our Values
In human life, schools play an important role in shaping children, and we aim to take the best of what schools have on offer and bring them to the core of our spirit, so that every child’s life is better because of being at Ascend.
We work to inspire every child to make their learning and personal growth a continuous journey. Our commitment to this starts with our aims in our learning CIRCLE, where important elements come together to grow great people.
We aim to develop every leaners’ character with the following pillars:
Creative
 At Ascend, we provide an enabling environment by exposing learners to a range of skills and voices, thereby opening avenues to creativity.
Â
Â
Inclusive
At Ascend, we intend to have a diverse community of learners, without which the ideal ingredients for growth will be missing.
Â
Â
Responsible
 Life, both in school and out of school is by its nature, challenging, and learning to take responsibility is the realisation that a plan is required at every stage of life.
Caring
We see developing this virtue as a key to leading a happy life – to give is to get something far more rewarding.
Â
Â
Logical
This is an essential tool to remain on a positive path in life and to bring benefit to one’s self as well as to the greater community.
Â
Â
Ethical
Ethical interaction – honesty, kindness, modesty – are values that form the core of every interaction at our institution.

Why Ascend
Educational Philosophy
We intend to provide children with a firm grounding in the basics of education – from reading, writing, numeracy, scientific thinking, art, computing and sports.
Once this is in place, we encourage children to spend their time learning – by exploring projects such as writing a book on a set topic, to building projects from their scientific imagination.
We also have a culture of reading by instituting age-appropriate class readers, where every child participates in reading activities. This helps children to develop a useful, lifelong habit. We start with fictional texts and launch into biographies of leading personalities in the world, helping children to explore different potential outcomes.
