Ascend

For learning and education

Step-by-step tutoring that tracks progress, so you can see what's working and what needs to change.

Who Ascend is for

Ascend is for students who need a different way in, and for families who want clear proof that learning is happening.

  • Students who are stuck on reading, writing, or math skills
  • Families who want to see progress in numbers, not just hear about it
  • Learners who haven't thrived with one-size-fits-all instruction

How it will work

  • Short, focused practice that builds skills one step at a time
  • Careful tracking of progress so lessons change when something is not working
  • Support built on Precision Teaching and Relational Frame Theory (RFT), two research-backed approaches

What those terms mean

Precision Teaching is a method of practicing skills in short timed sessions and charting the results, so teaching decisions come from data. Relational Frame Theory is a way of understanding how we learn language and make connections between ideas. Together they help us teach more efficiently.
