What Is The Research Publication Program?

  • Research Writing and Publication Program

    Age 13-18

    16-32 Hours

    Students work with their mentors to define the scope of their research paper, their hypothesis and method of testing and the outline of their paper. They then write the paper under guidance, go through a 3-person editing phase and publish on multiple platforms. 

    Project-Based Learning

    The whole program is tailored towards one end goal – a viable research project and a published paper!

    Improvement In Problem Solving and Writing Skills

    Students learn about logical fallacies, evaluate sources, creating and testing hypothesis and how to write academically.

    Work With Expert Researchers

    Students get to work with PhD holders and professors to ensure they get the most authentic research experience. 

    Variation In Program Length: The program has a range instead of fixed hours because it is dependent on the scale and scope of research. It is also dependent on how many papers the students wants to publish to.

      Hi Ms Arianna! I cannot imagine my highschool experience without your incredible kindness and assistance with all my endeavours, and Ascend’s program as a whole.
