Assumption School is a super learning environment! Unlike public schools, the kids are instructed in Faith and Reason. Also, the student to teacher ratios ensure each student gets the attention they need and deserve and the kids have plenty of green grass and playground equipment to expend their extra energy:)!

Throughout the six years our children have attended Assumption School, we have been continually reminded our choice of schools was the correct one. From the opening prayers & flag raising in the morning until they finish in homework club, we know our children are in a caring, educationally excellent environment. They are constantly challenged to go beyond their safe zone , yet are given individual attention when they struggle with a concept. We would urge any family looking for a learning environment where children are given the tools to succeed to strongly consider the foundation Assumption will provide for them.

I love this school! I have two children in preschool and they love to go. Within a week of being enrolled I could see academic progress on letters. It is a warm, caring school and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody. We were only planning to stay for preschool but we are so happy we are absolutely staying!

I went to Assumption from 3rd to 8th grade and graduated last year. Before I went to Assumption, I went to Keeney School in Manchester. The decision to move me to Assumption was one of the best decisions my parents ever made. My experiences at Assumption were great! I was immediately accepted and made lots of great friends whom I am still friends with now. The teachers are also excellent. They are so dedicated to giving us the best education they can, but are also very loving and nurturing. They are always there for you if you need help with anything- whether it be academic or social needs. I loved going to Assumption School and once you send your child there, you will never want to send them anywhere else. :)

My daughter has attended Assumption school for the last 3 years. We chose Assumption because we wanted our daughter to be in a safe learning enviornment. What we got was more than we could have asked for. The teachers at Assumption take the responsibility to educated your children not just on curricular materials but in life skills. All of the teachers know all of the students by name, something that we know does not happen in larger schools. My daughter has been with the same children since Pre-K, this has allowed us as the parents to not only get to know the children but thier parents as well. It is not uncommon for families of the school to get together on the weekends and spend quality time together. Choosing Assumption school for our daughter was the best decision we could have made for our child.

Simply said, Assumption School is a great place! My children have attended since Pre-K, and we have had nothing but a great experience. The dedicated staff, small class sizes, and family like atmosphere set Assumption School apart from all other schools. I have seem the students in each grade form special bonds and genuinely care about their classmates, and welcome new students into their class. This can be seen during all the outside activities made available throughout the year. There's only one way to see how special Assumption School is, and that is to experience it for yourself when school is in session and during events. Stop by and see the grounds, especially on a sunny day, when students are outside playing on the lawns. Once enrolled at Assumption School you'll see for yoursef just how special the school has become.

Assumption school in Manchester is the only school I will send my young children too.The teachers at the school care about my children and treat them like they were there own.At the same time the disciplene is not to be taken lightly. Students are held accountable for their actions and punishment if deserved will follow.The involvement of parents is strong in the school with many parents helping out wherever needed and some on more projects and activities than one or two.The bottom line here is if you want the best education and a place where your child will exceed even your expectations theres no place better than Assumption School.

My daughter entered 4th grade at Assumption in December 2003. She has made terrific progress and growth. The staff, students and school family have been very supportive and helpful to our whole family. I believe that I made the BEST choice for her by moving her to Assumption.It will be our second home for the next 5 years!

Assumption School is a wonderful, safe place for children to grow and be nurtured. I have two children here and I cannot tell you how happy I am with their academic as well as social growth. The teachers here are first rate in creating a challenging, creative environment for their students to learn. Also, it is a small school where everyone knows all the kids and is always looking out for one another. Both of my children have excelled academically here and I feel they are being taught all the important lessons that will make them excel in all aspects of their life.
