Ascend offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP).

Thoughtful, personal and holistic
We recognise and value the unique strengths, interests, experiences, and learning profiles of every student. We seek to understand each student as an individual and to determine how Ascend can best support their academic, social, emotional, and personal growth.
