Ascend Scholar Academy (ASA) is a principle-centered, Christian educational community dedicated to supporting families as they raise confident, capable, purpose-driven youth. Guided by the motto, “Thee lift me and I lift thee, and we’ll ascend together,” ASA brings parents, mentors, and students together to study true principles, strengthen families, and cultivate leadership in a nurturing, project-based environment.
Our mission is to enable parents to enrich, protect, guard, and prepare their children with the spiritual grounding, character development, and practical skills they need to fulfill their unique missions with faith, wisdom, and love. Since 2024, we have proudly served families in the Southwest Salt Lake Valley, offering an uplifting space where children and youth are encouraged to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
ASA offers three distinct levels designed to meet students where they are: Core Classes (Ages 5–8) Young learners thrive in a warm, play-based environment that builds confidence, imagination, and foundational character. Through intentional activities, students discover the joy of learning in a safe and encouraging space. Love of Learning (Ages 9–11)
Students dive into inspiring ideas and hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and initiative. This phase nurtures a lifelong love of learning while strengthening responsibility and personal growth. Scholar Projects (Teens) Teens engage in LEMI Scholar Projects that develop leadership, ownership, and accountability. With mentor guidance, they explore deep, meaningful projects that prepare them for adulthood and mission-driven lives. Families at Ascend Scholar Academy learn and grow together. Parents support one another, mentors uplift students, and youth build confidence through collaboration and discovery. Our community values both academic development and spiritual strength, ensuring children are prepared to navigate the world with conviction and purpose. Classes meet Fridays from 9:30 AM–3:00 PM, September through April 2026, in Herriman, Utah. Ready to learn more?
