Welcome to Ascent Insights

To all our curious community members, and to those simply curious, welcome to Ascent Insights! 

We have the fortunate role of being witness to great leaps and bounds made by capable young people day in and day out. We get to see learners recognize the strength within, overcome their obstacles, and become self-reliant. From the subtle and mindful choices that demonstrate deep inner work, to the extrinsic accomplishments, we see genius every day. We recognize that we are at the forefront of the new world, forging foundations for learners who will be the creators of their stories and will recognize their gifts that will change the world. 

As we continue forward on this evolving Journey, we continue to mark each layer of growth with deep observation, deep thought, and deep learning. Today, we stand between contemplation and anticipation as we launch this medium for sharing bits and pieces of our experiences and approach. For years we have been dedicated to nurturing this revolutionary, yet ancient, paradigm of offering young people the opportunity to connect to  their inner genius.We look forward to the environment Ascent will continue to provide for this well into the future. 

We have been privileged witnesses to transformational stories—each child’s, and each family’s Journey is a testament to the strength of this educational philosophy. Our vastly different backgrounds formed the foundation that allowed us to create  spaces and experiences that demonstrate trust in young people.. Our shared experience at Acton Academy became more than a professional endeavor; it was a pivotal juncture to hone our skill sets and forecast further, daring to partner in co-founding Ascent.

With this blog, Ascent Insights, we extend an open invitation to you—curious parents and lifelong learners—to partake in our ongoing conversation. Together, we’ll dive into the heart of our educational philosophy, explore the narratives and concepts that shape us, and challenge each other with questions that push us to go deeper. . All in short spurts!

Welcome to Ascent Insights—your compass to navigating the rich landscape of learning with us.
