A few weeks ago we announced that Center Academy Hunter's Creek earned the Ascend Education 2026 Gold Medal School award, and this week we got to celebrate that achievement in person!

We had the pleasure of recognizing Director Melissa Adams and her team, a well-deserved moment for a school that has made math growth a daily priority for every student. Their commitment to showing up every single day and doing the work is reflected in their students' growth, and we couldn't be more proud to be part of their journey. πŸ‘

At DK, partnering with schools like Center Academy Hunter's Creek is what drives us. Congratulations again to the whole team!

The celebration continues! πŸŽ‰ A huge congratulations to Center Academy Palm Harbor on becoming a 2026 Ascend Math Gold Medal School! πŸ₯‡

At Center Academy, Ascend Education is helping support student achievement by addressing foundational skill gaps for students who are typically 1-2 years behind.

Implemented alongside regular instruction and monitored through MAP testing, their goal is to help students gain at least one full year of math growth.

Beyond the numbers, students are developing stronger study habits, incredible persistence, and newfound confidence in their learning!

Congratulations to Stacy and the entire team at Center Academy for your dedication to student success! πŸ‘

Incredible momentum from one of our amazing partners! We are thrilled to congratulate Center Academy - Riverview on being recognized as Ascend Math's Partner School of the Month! πŸ†

Their students are absolutely crushing their goals: over 64% have completed at least one grade level of math work, and over 30% have completed TWO grade levels! πŸŽ‰

Dan Curry, Asst VP Operations, notes: "By incorporating adaptive technology into our math programs, we continue to see positive results and remain focused on helping every student achieve success at their own level."

Way to go, Center Academy! We can't wait to see what your students achieve next. 🌟

We love seeing the incredible work happening at a middle school in the School District of Manatee County!

This chart tracks a group of 8th graders who started in October 2025 reading well below grade level.

By using MindPlay, these students have made massive leaps, which you can see in the distance between the red baseline dots and the blue dots.

On average, they gained over two and a half reading grade levels in just one school year.

We're so thrilled to support the teachers and students making this kind of progress a reality!

"News-O-Matic is fantast-o-matic!" 🌟

When kids love what they read, their comprehension skyrockets.

Broward County Public Schools teacher Irene Connelly shares how she uses News-O-Matic to blend ELA and science.

Her students are mastering reading skills while learning wild facts about animals like queen naked mole rats.

We are incredibly proud to be a sponsor for the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Office of Educational Services and Exceptional Student Education prom this year. The "Greatest Prom on Earth" theme was spectacular, and seeing the students celebrate together was the highlight of our week. ✨

From below grade level to above grade level in one school year πŸ“š

β€œWhen I tested my students at the beginning of the year, quite a few were below grade level.”

By late April, every student was reading above grade level. πŸŽ‰

Tracy, a 1st grade teacher at Calvary Christian Academy Hollywood, shares how consistent daily use of MindPlay Education helped her students make remarkable reading growth. Her students raised their reading levels by a year or more in just one school year.

Her biggest takeaway: consistency matters.

β€œJust by having them do MindPlay every day for at least 15–30 minutes, my kids have all raised their reading levels a year and above.”

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

πŸ₯‡ Huge congratulations to Center Academy Hunter’s Creek, an Ascend Education 2026 Gold Medal Honoree! πŸŽ‰

We are so proud of the incredible growth happening at Center Academy Hunter's Creek. Students use Ascend Math daily to build foundational skills and close learning gaps. They are making huge strides and progressing all the way from basic subtraction to confidently working with division!

The school supports a diverse population that includes students with ADHD and Autism. Ascend Math provides a supportive, low-pressure environment where kids can learn from their mistakes and strengthen their executive functioning skills.

πŸ“ˆ Their growth is amazing to see! Students are constantly leveling up. For instance, many of the 11 students who started in Level 3 have already advanced to higher levels, while students from Levels 1 and 2 have successfully moved up to take their place.

πŸ’¬ "Ascend Math provides a safe space for my students to make mistakes and then learn from them. I am so thankful to Ascend for supporting my students' math gains!" - Paula Acosta

Let's give a big round of applause to the students and teachers at Center Academy Hunter’s Creek! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
