Assumption College School is a Roman Catholic Secondary School in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
History
In 1941, Brantford Catholic High School opened in the basement of St. Ann's Elementary School with just one Grade 9 class. A new class was added each year until 1951 when the school moved to a former residence on Dufferin Ave. From 1951 to 1978, the priests of the Congregation of the Resurrection acted as the principals. In 1959, the school's name changed to St. John's College.
In 1991, enrolment exceeded 1700 students. This necessitated the opening of Assumption College in September, 1992.
In 2001, Holy Trinity, Simcoe was built to decrease the large populations at Assumption College and St. Johns College.
After this, it was recognized that the school population was growing, and an expansion was needed. The third floor was built, including classrooms, science labs, and a cosmetology lab.
The school offers a STEM (science, tech, engineering and math) program, LEAP (Language English Advanced Placement) program, and CWAYC (Canadian World Affairs Youth Council).
