Why should I inquire and tour now?
Inquiring is the first step in the admissions process. After you complete an inquiry, our team will contact you to set up a tour. While our website offers a glimpse of life at Ascension, the only way to truly experience our school is to see us in action!
For this reason, we offer campus tours year-round and invite you to visit all three campuses to learn how each contributes to Ascension’s mission.
Our application season for the 2027-2028 school year opens on October 9, 2026. Applying takes you a step further in the process and allows us to schedule a screening or shadow day.
