With a separate Early Childhood Learning Center featuring a
creative curriculum and hands-on X-STREAM (science, technology,

kindergarten students have the foundation for academic success, and
can continue that educational excellence at the elementary school
level.
Our test results show that Assumption students exceeded
learning expectations in Math and Readingover the past two
years. While at the same time, nationwide averages fell one to two
years below the standards. Here`s how we did it! Assumption adopted
virtual learning within three days of the COVID-19 pandemic
shutdown of Missouri schools. Our certified teachers were able to
adapt quickly to teaching in a virtual learning environment in our
pre-K-8th grade-classes without any issues.
