Mission Schools
Six schools serving communities across the Philippines in the Assumption tradition of faith, education, and service
Three Pillars of Assumption Education
Faith Formation
Rooted in the spirituality of St. Marie Eugenie, our schools nurture the spiritual growth of every student.
Academic Excellence for Service
Quality education that empowers students to serve their communities and become agents of positive change.
Social Responsibility
Developing students who are aware of social realities and committed to building a more just and compassionate society.
Assumpta Technical High School
The Assumpta Technical High School (ATHS) was founded in 1970 by the Mother Rosa Memorial Foundation in San Simon, Pampanga. From its humble beginnings as a vocational school for underprivileged youth, ATHS has grown into a full K-12 institution offering both academic and technical-vocational tracks.
ATHS prioritizes enrollment of poor but deserving applicants while also accepting students from families with better financial means through a Socialized Tuition Fee Scheme. The school celebrated its golden jubilee in December 2020–2021, marking 50 years of transformative education in Central Luzon.
The school offers technical-vocational training alongside academic subjects, equipping students with practical skills for employment while nurturing their spiritual and character formation in the Assumption tradition. Many ATHS graduates have gone on to become professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
Operated by the Mother Rosa Memorial Foundation
ATHS is the flagship school of the Mother Rosa Memorial Foundation (MRMF), named after Mother Rosa Maria Pachoud de L'Enfant Jesus. The Foundation ensures that quality Assumption education reaches communities that need it most, embodying Mother Rosa's legacy of love and service.
St. Martin's School
Nestled in the Cordillera highlands of Baguio City, St. Martin's School serves indigenous tribal communities with a deep commitment to quality education and cultural preservation. The school was established in the 1960s and has been a beacon of Assumption education in Northern Luzon for over six decades.
With approximately 130 students, 40% of whom are scholars, St. Martin's integrates the rich cultural heritage of the Cordillera indigenous peoples into its curriculum. The school nurtures both the academic excellence and cultural identity of its students, helping them become rooted in their heritage while prepared for the broader world.
The school's unique setting among the pine forests and terraced mountains of Baguio provides a distinctive learning environment where nature and culture intersect with Assumption values of faith, service, and social responsibility.
Cultural Preservation & Education
St. Martin's is unique among Assumption schools for its focus on honoring the heritage of the indigenous peoples of the Cordillera. The curriculum weaves together quality academic education with cultural preservation, ensuring students value their roots while gaining the knowledge to serve their communities.
Assumption Socio-Educational Center
The Assumption Socio-Educational Center (ASEC) in Barrio Obrero, Iloilo City, began in 1967 as a community clinic established by the Religious of the Assumption. Recognizing that health and education are inseparable pillars of development, the clinic evolved into a full elementary school while maintaining its commitment to community health services.
Today, ASEC provides elementary education programs to children in Iloilo's underserved Barrio Obrero neighborhood. The Center combines health services with quality education, addressing the holistic needs of families in the community. Students receive not just academic instruction but also health monitoring, nutritional support, and values formation.
ASEC embodies the Assumption commitment to “going to the peripheries” — bringing quality education and social services to communities that are often overlooked. The Center has become a trusted institution in Barrio Obrero, serving multiple generations of families.
Education + Community Health
ASEC's unique dual mission of education and health services makes it a model for holistic community development. From its origins as a clinic to its current role as an educational center, ASEC demonstrates how the Assumption mission adapts to serve the real needs of communities.
Assumption School, Passi City
Assumption School in Passi City, Iloilo has been serving the rural communities of Western Visayas for over 50 years. Established in 1969, the school provides scholarship programs for disadvantaged learners in the countryside of Iloilo province.
As a beacon of Assumption education in rural Western Visayas, Assumption Passi brings the same commitment to faith formation, academic excellence, and social responsibility that characterizes all Assumption schools — but adapted to the unique needs and culture of the rural Philippine setting.
The school's scholarship programs have enabled generations of students from farming and fishing families to access quality education. Many graduates have returned to their communities as teachers, health workers, and community leaders, continuing the cycle of service.
Empowering Rural Communities
For more than five decades, Assumption Passi has been a lifeline for families in rural Iloilo who might otherwise have no access to quality education. The school's scholarship programs and community-rooted approach have made a lasting impact on the region.
San Juan Nepomuceno School
San Juan Nepomuceno School in Malibay, Pasay City serves kindergarten through Grade 6 students in one of Metro Manila's most underserved communities. Established in 1969, the school has been a steady presence in the heart of urban poverty, providing hope and opportunity through education.
The school offers modular and online learning formats, adapting to the needs of children in urban poverty. This flexibility ensures that even students who face challenges at home — from overcrowded living conditions to parents working multiple jobs — can continue their education.
SJN School demonstrates the Assumption commitment to being present where need is greatest. In the densely populated streets of Malibay, the school provides not just education but a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow in faith and knowledge.
Adapting to Urban Challenges
SJN School has pioneered flexible learning approaches to reach students in one of Metro Manila's most challenging environments. Through modular and online learning, the school ensures that quality education remains accessible to children who might otherwise be left behind.
Sta. Rita Academy
Sta. Rita Academy in Sibalom, Antique province brings the Assumption tradition of faith-based education to one of the most remote areas in Western Visayas. Established in the 1950s, the Academy has been serving the community of Sibalom for over seven decades.
In a province where access to quality education can be limited by geography and economic constraints, Sta. Rita Academy stands as a testament to the Assumption mission of reaching the peripheries. The school provides not just academic education but holistic formation grounded in Catholic values and social responsibility.
Despite its remote location, Sta. Rita Academy has maintained the high standards of Assumption education, producing graduates who have gone on to serve their communities and beyond. The Academy continues to be a source of pride and hope for the people of Sibalom.
Reaching the Peripheries
Sta. Rita Academy is the most geographically remote of the Assumption mission schools. Its presence in Sibalom, Antique exemplifies the Assumption charism of going to where the need is greatest — even when that means the most distant corners of the Philippines.
