ASCEND: A Course in English for Schools

Welcome to Ascend

Language is the foundation of learning. It enables children to express their thoughts, explore new ideas, appreciate different perspectives and connect meaningfully with the world around them. Ascend is a thoughtfully designed English language programme that nurtures confident, curious and creative learners while building strong communication skills for lifelong success.

Developed in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), the series follows a learner-centred, competency-based approach that makes learning engaging, meaningful and relevant. Through carefully selected stories, poems, biographies, plays and informative texts, learners are encouraged to think critically, communicate confidently and develop values that prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

Ascend is a comprehensive 22-book English language programme comprising:

  • Main Course Books for Classes 1–8
  • Practice Workbooks for Classes 1–8
  • Literature Readers for Classes 3–8
