When asked about receiving three additional approvals for schools, Ascent Classical Academies Founder and CEO, Derec Shuler, said, "We are honored and thankful to continue our partnership with the Charter Institute at Erskine as we all work to improve education options and bring an American classical education to children and their families across the state. Ascent Classical charter schools work with parents to offer a time-tested, traditional approach to the formation of young people, to prepare them to flourish in life."
