About Us
Our Mission
Ascending Grace Academics exists to support students and families through faith-centered academic guidance, personalized learning support, and educational oversight. We believe every child is capable of growth when provided with intention, structure, encouragement, and grace.
The Heart Behind Ascending Grace Academics
Ascending Grace Academics was born from two of my greatest passions: education and motherhood.
As an educator with more than 12 years of experience serving as a classroom teacher, Math Coach, Mentor Teacher, and Dean of Students, I have dedicated my career to helping students discover their potential and achieve success. Throughout those years, I worked with countless children who simply needed someone to see beyond their struggles and believe in their ability to grow.
But my perspective changed even more when I became a mother.
When my son began his educational journey, I experienced education from the other side of the table. Like so many parents, I found myself asking important questions: Is he getting what he needs academically and socially? Is he being supported in the way he learns best? How can I help him develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning?
Those experiences gave me a deeper understanding of what families are looking for—not just academic progress, but a partnership. Parents want to know their child is known, valued, encouraged, and supported as an individual.
That realization strengthened my calling to create something different.
I founded Ascending Grace Academics to provide families with faith-centered academic support rooted in structure, accountability, encouragement, and grace. A place where students are supported academically while being nurtured as unique individuals created with purpose.
As both an educator and a mother, I understand that every child learns differently. Some students need additional encouragement. Some need more structure. Some need someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves.
At Ascending Grace Academics, we meet students where they are and help them grow toward where they are meant to be. We believe academic success is about more than grades. It is about building confidence, fostering independence, developing character, and helping students recognize their God-given potential.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—and every family deserves a trusted partner along the journey.
Our Story
Our Foundation
The foundation of our work is built upon three core pillars: Integrity, Excellence, and Grace. We believe that structure provides the freedom for a student to succeed, and that grace ensures they feel supported throughout the process. By integrating traditional academic rigor with a modern understanding of student development, we provide a stable and sophisticated platform for every learner to ascend to their highest potential.
Our Approach
Our approach is meticulously tailored and focused on high-level strategy. We don't just teach for the next test; we teach for lifelong mastery. Through curated tutoring plans, one-on-one mentorship, and a focus on executive functioning skills, we help students build the habits of mind necessary for collegiate and professional success. Every session is an opportunity to cultivate discipline, curiosity, and confidence.
