Welcome to Assumption Catholic School
We hope you’ll visit us to experience that joy firsthand and hear from students, teachers and parents what it means to be a part of the Assumption Catholic School family!
What’s Happening Now
Inclusive Community
Families of all faiths are welcome and EVERY CHILD is surrounded by Christ’s love!
Affordable and Accessible
ACS is the oldest private school in Bellingham, serving third and fourth-generation families of Whatcom County. One-fourth of families receive tuition assistance.
Committed to Service
To foster servant leadership, each grade level adopts a service project that they support throughout the year. Middle school students complete service hours as part of their Religion class requirement.
Rich in Diversity
Our school is more ethnically diverse than many schools in Whatcom County. Spanish is taught K-8. Cultures are honored and celebrated.

Letter from the Principal – April 1st, 2026
“The academics are excellent, but the most important thing is the values that are taught. Kindness, altruism and empathy are taught by example. We feel so grateful that we chose Assumption and only wish we had come sooner.”
-Gene & Maureen Thomas
“We wanted our daughter to grow up in a Christian-based environment, but were not expecting to find such a strong and loving community. It was a wonderful surprise, and we’ve now realized how important that is when finding a good school.”
-Edgar & Karla Sicairos
“If you want a second home full of love, values, and respect, where your children also develop well academically to be better people in this society, do not hesitate to choose Assumption for them.”
-Bernardo Torres-Ariza & MeryLuz Duque-Soto

On this Good Friday, our hearts were drawn into prayer and reflection through the beautiful leadership of our students.Our 6th graders reverently brought to life the Prayer in the Garden and the Last Supper, while our 7th graders led us through the Stations of the Cross in the church. We are so proud of the way our students live out the story of Christ with such reverence. Blessed Triduum to all of you! 💜

There’s something truly special about the bonds formed in our classrooms and Assumption Catholic School—they don’t end at graduation. 💙Alumni teachers and staff showed up to support alumni Manoli, now the proud owner of Bellingham Bar & Grill! Moments like this remind us that teaching goes far beyond the classroom. Our teachers give not just for a year, but for a lifetime, continuing to support, encourage, and celebrate our students every step of the way. #AssumptionCatholic #Alumni #WeLoveOurTeachers #AlwaysOurStudent
