Ascend acquired by Aperture Education
Engage students in their social and emotional learning with education's leading SEL assessment software combined with the power of goal-setting Learn MoreOne platform for educators, students, mentors, and parents
Ascend helps schools and out-of-school-time programs launch social-emotional learning, career and college readiness, and educational programs digitally. Through the Ascend platform, schools and youth programs can:
Deliver program content
Track student progress,
Monitor mentor, teacher, and parent engagement, and
Evaluate program outcomes
As we review camper reflections in Ascend, one of the things we’ll be doing is identifying what parts of the program resonated with them the most, and depending upon what those were, we’ll build specific content around it for future programming. And when we meet new potential sponsors or donors, we can outline for them how many kids participated, and what content resonated with them.

In our generation, a lot of students are disillusioned with higher education. People might not want to do something really cool because of how big and stressful it might seem. But goal setting in Ascend helps break those big things down into smaller pieces. And it’s really helped me.
