[edit] History
Assumption was founded by the Basilian Fathers in 1870 as part of Assumption University, which is now part of the University of Windsor. Assumption was at first a private school for young men, but evolved into a co-educational secondary school within the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board. Assumption offers a range of secondary programs including the IB Diploma Programme, as well as Co-op, OYAP, MOYAP and others. The school has a population of approximately 650 students. This secondary school is among the smallest in the Windsor-Essex Area. The current principal is Mary Parent.
[edit] International Baccalaureate Program
The IB programme has been quite successful and Mme Genevieve Cano is the director of the programme. The programme has attracted over 130 students over a period of 3 years. Assumption is the only IB public school in Windsor. The only other IB school is Acadamie St Cecile, which is a private school. Villanova High attempted to get an IB certificate, but have to yet to receive one. There is a lack of IB qualified teachers.
