Description:
Brownsville Ascend Charter School's mission is to equip every student with the knowledge, confidence, and character to succeed in college and beyond. Students will, from the earliest grades, steadily build a strong foundation of learning habits, critical thinking skills, and knowledge; excel academically in middle and high school, mastering high-level math and science; and graduate as confident young adults, prepared to succeed as college students, as citizens, and as leaders in their chosen fields. Brownsville Ascend will be the among the first schools in the United States to license the education system of SABIS, an international operator of high performing, college preparatory schools. SABIS's teaching system includes a cumulative, mastery-based curriculum, interwoven weekly electronic assessments,and a unique "point and prefect" classroom practice. At maturity, the school will span kindergarten through the twelfth grade on one campus.
