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 – Nov 17th, 2025
“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

Today we celebrate Read Across America Day, inspired by the author Dr. Seuss! 📚❤️Last Friday, we kicked off the celebration with two incredible author presentations that sparked imagination and creativity across our campus. Students joined a Zoom visit with author Marshall Chiles, hearing his book, Cool Kids Share, about how important it is to share and be kind.We were also thrilled to welcome award-winning author and illustrator @lucianaillustration an alumni family member, for a special in-person visit. Our students learned about the writing process and enjoyed a sneak peek, along with a reading of her newest book, Squirrel Draws Big Feelings. Her chalk art at Assumption during the pandemic was the inspiration of this book!

On Friday, following Mass, our students took part in a beautiful “Peace Walk” around campus. 🙏✨After writing their own heartfelt prayers for peace — and prayers in solidarity with Annunciation Catholic School — students walked together in prayer.This meaningful experience is part of the Archdiocese of Seattle’s Move Your Feet movement, inspired by the African proverb: “When you pray, move your feet.”
