Welcome to
Brooklyn Ascend Lower School

The mission of every Ascend school is to equip our students with the knowledge, confidence, and character to succeed in college and beyond.

By offering a rich liberal arts education in a supportive environment, we animate children’s natural sense of curiosity and prepare students to think on their own, thrive on their own, and engage the world as informed, responsible citizens.

NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program 

Did You Know?  
Families with Kindergarten students in all public schools (including participating charter schools) citywide are eligible to participate in the Save for College Program - no matter their income or immigration status.

The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for and invest in their children’s futures. It is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible for public school students by providing every child with tangible financial assets for their educational future. Attend a virtual information session with NYC Kids RISE to learn how the program works, the benefits for your child, and how your family can participate.
