Is there a dress code?
We expect all scholars to wear a prescribed uniform. ASK is a STEM institution, and the academy is a pipeline for STEM careers and educational programs. As such, we require students to dress for success to improve the learning environment and teach our scholars about the importance of making good first impressions in these professional fields and careers. Below are general guidelines for the academy uniform. For more detailed information, visit the Quick Links on the Home page.

What grades does The ASK Academy serve?
The ASK Academy serves scholars in 6th through 12th grades.
Does The ASK Academy offer hot lunch for my child?
The ASK Academy does not have a hot lunch program. We encourage our scholars to bring nutritious lunches from home that incorporate the main food groups. High school scholars have the option to walk off campus with a signed Off-Campus Lunch Permission Form. Those with a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and a signed Hold Harmless Agreement to Drive Off-Campus form may drive off campus for lunch. Scholars may not transport any other scholars in their vehicles. Students who leave for lunch without having the necessary paperwork are subject to disciplinary action by the administration.
Enrollment at ASK is on a lottery system that begins on February 1 of each academic year. For more information about how to enter your child in the lottery, visit our Admissions page.
