What do parents and students have to say?

“Tangible outcomes”

“Regular communication”

“A Company that cares”

    A proud moment

    Thank you Mari and Moh for your encouragement. It is indeed a proud moment and a boost for Atlas. We are happy for him ♥️

    Would definitely recommend to others

    Ascend Now is probably an experience that I would DEFINITELY recommend to others, especially those who want to make a change to our society or for those who want to share their passion to the world. Over the course of my Passion Project there were a lot of challenges, especially when I decided to do the worst thing for an introvert: start a Podcast.

    Highly appreciated support

    Thanks for sharing. I like the story. All the support provided by Ascend teachers are highly appreciated.

    Great guidance and support

    Hi Asksheetha. Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy to hear you can see potential. She has a busy schedule but I think a weekly class will go a long way. She is learning and able to connect the dots with both your guidance and support. Thank you for working with her to achieve her goal.

    Thank you, we are proud of Sheina!

    Thank you for the support, we are very proud of Sheina. She has been working hard. I hope she will have many more good outcome.

    Thinking of a career in tech

    Creating my own video game has been fun! The coding program at Ascend Now made it all possible, and now I’m thinking about a career in tech!

    Started my own small business

    The entrepreneurship program was awesome! I started my own small business, and it’s been such a great learning experience. Thanks, Ascend Now!

    Channeled my hobbies into something productive

    I used to spend so much time on my PlayStation playing FIFA and my coach at Ascend Now was able to help me channel that into a FIFA research project. I learnt how to do statistical analysis and write a research paper. I feel super ready for the IBDP IA’s now! Thanks!

    Opportunity to present my stock portfolio

    Thank you to my coach at Ascend Now – I wasn’t sure whether I should go to business school and study finance. This course gave me the opportunity to present my stock portfolio to the Asia CEO of AXA and I’m now going on to participate in the Wharton Global Investment contest! I realize that finance is a potential major in college!

    I understand the basics of business

    I’m only 11 but I feel like I understand the basics of finance and business management to start building my own company soon!
