Welcome to Assumption Catholic School
When you walk through the door, you can feel it – the indescribable energy that comes from a place where every student is known, cared for and inspired to learn.
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
Message from Mr. Ramos on the Accreditation Visit (3/23 – 3/25) Our accreditation visit was a remarkable success. The visiting team was impressed with our self-report, our classrooms, and the overall operation of the school. To paraphrase the team leader, Dr. Rachel Rufus, Chief of Staff for the Office of Catholic Schools in Los Angeles: Assumption…
“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
