The House System at Ascent Classical Academy is a unique aspect of the school—each Upper School student is sorted into one of six Houses when they enter seventh grade, which they will remain part of for the rest of their time at Ascent. The Houses represent organizations within the school to provide for social, athletic, and leadership opportunities for students, allowing for friendly competition between the Houses.

Each House represents one of the defining physical features of the Western Slope. These features also champion one of the Ascent virtues, in which we seek to instill in our students. The Western Slope of Colorado is a formidable landscape that generations of Americans have sought to settle and respect. These features help to define who we are as citizens and Coloradans. They both stand the test of time and mark the passage of time, thus providing physical representations of our virtues. Furthermore, each House has a unique heraldry banner and shield; each of these designs is original and unique to our school.

Each House has their own emblem, or symbol, Latin motto and colors. Students will have the opportunity to wear shirts associated with their House on certain days of the week in order to show their House pride. Students with siblings will all be in the same House.
