Ascension also offers the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program for children ages 4-12. The children meet in multi-age levels: 4-6 year olds, 7-9 year olds, and 9-12 year olds. This Montessori based approach to religious education takes place in a setting call an Atrium. This space includes materials that the children use for learning and reflection. It also provides a space for prayer.
