About Ascension Catholic Academy

Ascension Catholic Academy is a consortium of Catholic schools serving highly diverse neighborhoods in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. In the midst of our urban reality, the Academy is committed to welcoming families as beloved children of God and to helping all scholars achieve academic excellence. The Academy, a ministry of Ascension Catholic Church, provides centralized leadership and governance to ensure excellence, accessibility, and sustainability for these cherished community assets. We manage four schools: • Ascension Catholic School, which has been an anchor on the north side of Minneapolis for more than 125 years. • Immaculate Conception Catholic School, which serves a diverse population in Columbia Heights. • Saint Peter Claver Catholic School, in the Rondo area of St. Paul, which is rooted in African American tradition and culture. • St. Pascal Regional Catholic School on St. Paul's East Side thrives under the pillars of Believe, Learn, Love and Connect.
