Donate

Your donation will enhance the education of every Ascent Classical Academy student through the arts, athletics, and more.

Support What Sets Us Apart

Your donation supports the many extracurricular activities and programs that make Ascent Classical Academy of Grand Junction so special. These programs include teacher appreciation, community engagement, resources for our athletic programs, field trips, enhancements to the fine arts program, and financial aid.

As a public charter school, Ascent Classical Academy receives funding through two primary sources: (1) public funding from the state of Colorado, and (2) private funding from donations and activity fees. Public funds support the essential day-to-day needs of our school such as books, classroom materials, and faculty/staff salaries. Unlike traditional district-run public schools, charter schools must pay for their facilities out of operating revenue and therefore have smaller margins. Donations to Ascent Classical Academy are what allow us to go the extra mile, providing our students with the opportunity to participate in excellent fine arts and athletics programs, build deep and abiding friendships, and spark imagination and wonder in their everyday lives.

Building a Brighter Future Together

Develop Joyful Learners

We believe that a Classical Education is an excellent education for every student. A good classical education focuses on academics, athletics, and the arts. Its aim is to develop the moral and intellectual skills, habits, and virtues upon which independent, responsible, and joyful lives are built. This is first and practically done by removing any financial barriers that could stand in the way of attending Ascent. Your donation will help us provide uniforms, lunches, and more to families in need. Developing joyful learners also requires building up our athletic, fine arts, and student life programs. While rigorous academic pursuits are central, a robust student life is critical to developing joyful learners.

Develop Masterful Teachers

We believe that a school’s true strength lies in the caliber of its teachers.  Exceptional teachers create an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm, fostering a love for learning among our students. We aim to create a culture of continuous learning. With your support, we can offer ongoing professional development opportunities, workshops, and conferences, which will continue to train our teachers in classical pedagogy.  Additionally, your contribution will help us provide competitive salaries and benefits to retain our exceptional educators, ensuring stability and continuity in the learning experience for our students. We are dedicated to nurturing a learning environment that thrives on the mastery, commitment and passion of our teachers.  Your support will play a pivotal role in enhancing teacher retention through comprehensive training programs and competitive compensation.
