Hybrid Christian School in Colorado Springs

Ascent Christian is a hybrid model K4-12 school, fully integrating a Biblical worldview and focusing on critical thinking skills and creating lifelong learners.

  • Partnership with Families

    We believe parents are the primary educators. Our hybrid structure keeps families central in their child’s development while benefiting from professional instruction. This partnership promotes shared values, expectations, and goals between home and school.

  • Academic Excellence

    We are committed to high academic standards that challenge students to think critically, reason logically, and communicate effectively. We value both mastery of content and the development of intellectual virtues such as curiosity, humility, and perseverance. We also aim to inspire a love of learning that endures beyond the classroom, empowering students to be curious, discerning, and engaged citizens in an ever-changing world.

  • Christ-Centered Worldview

    We view all areas of study through the lens of a biblical worldview, affirming that faith and reason are not at odds but mutually enriching. Students are encouraged to explore the truth, beauty, and goodness that underlie all disciplines, and to understand their learning as part of a greater calling to love God and serve others.

  • Character Formation

    True education shapes not just the mind but the heart. We seek to instill in students virtues such as integrity, responsibility, compassion, and respect. Through mentorship, community involvement, and intentional relationships, we nurture young men and women who are not only knowledgeable but wise—prepared to lead with conviction and serve with humility.
