Since 1954, Assumption High School has modeled academic excellence in Louisville.  This private Catholic high school sets forth strong values for teenage girls, including collaboration, mission education, compassion and service, educational excellence, concern for women and their issues, world vision and responsibility, and spiritual growth and development.

The faith community at Assumption High School includes prayer services and liturgies, theology classes, and a four-year overnight retreat program. Their values statement impresses their dedication: "We are the community of Assumption where faith guides, compassion inspires, integrity matters, and excellence empowers." These values have led the school to win many prestigious awards, including the Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award (which it has won three times), the Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Award, the National Catholic Education Association School of Tomorrow for its innovations in education, and the Learning Differences of Kentucky Beacon of Hope School Award. Additionally, the school has a recognized American Counselor Association Model Program and an award-winning faculty and staff.

This excellence stems from a firm commitment to individually serve every single student that attends Assumption High School. With an average class size of 18 and a student teacher ratio of ten to one, AHS offers one of the most one-on-one private school opportunities in Louisville.  And this small ratio pays off in student achievement, as the average ACT score is 23.4, the SAT 1100. Plus, AHS is equipped with teachers to provide more than 20 advanced placement college courses.

In addition to its academic excellence, Assumption High School boasts championship athletic teams with a reputation for victory.  Fall sports include cross country, field hockey, golf,  soccer, and volleyball; winter sports, basketball, cheer, dance, ice hockey, swim and dive; and spring sports, crew, lacrosse, softball,  tennis, and track. These teams are known throughout the Kentuckiana area and nationwide for the intense competition they provide and for their almost unbreakable winning streaks.

Assumption High School  is yet another reason why Louisville, Kentucky is an excellent place to call home. For help finding your perfect Louisville home, please contact The Vince Carter Team.
