September 2025

Our school year opened with a meaningful tradition as students joined the local VFW in raising the American flag, a symbol of the values that guide both our nation and our classrooms. This ceremony reflects the important role Ascent Classical Academy of Fort Mill seeks to play in supporting a healthy community – one that honors the principles of liberty, virtue, and self-government while preparing students to live them out in their daily lives.

In this newsletter, you will find campus updates, opportunities to connect through tours and events, and resources for families as we continue building a strong foundation for the year ahead.

Campus Tours

We warmly invite future parents to sign up for a campus tour to see our classrooms, talk with the admin team, and learn more about the Ascent Classical program.

Families joined us on Monday, August 4, for Meet the Teacher. Students and parents enjoyed meeting our staff, connecting with one another, and preparing together for the start of a new school year.
