ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY OF ASCENSION CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

Ascension Christian High exists to reach the youth of Ascension Parish for Christ through education. Ascension Christian High accommodates the required number of credits for students to attain TOPS Core Curriculum courses and scholarships. In addition ACH offers electives that may include dual enrollment options with four year colleges and local community and technical colleges. With a simple 7 period schedule, Ascension Christian High offers students the opportunity to acquire up to 8 total credits per school year. All core courses (Math, English, Science, Social Studies) are taught throughout the year, August-May. Electives are scheduled by the semester (August – December or January – May). Our commitment is to maintain small classes, a low student to faculty ratio, and the hiring of the best and brightest Christian teachers who are prepared to lead and serve in a fast changing world. College courses, honors and non-honors courses are available. ACH, in partnership with Southeastern Louisiana State University, offers options of over 40 college courses to its students whose scores and work ethic indicate college readiness. ACH through community partnerships provides welding certification courses for students 16 and older. Scholarships may be available. For more information about college and/or technical school classes offered as part of the routine curriculum at ACH, please contact the Guidance Office at 225-622-2800. ACH is registered with the College Board and is an official ACT Testing Center. ACH offers students the opportunity to take the ACT on campus for every scheduled testing date. Space is limited and students are encouraged to register as early as possible.

Ascension Christian uses the ACT Aspire Test for grades 8-12.
