Collège de l'Assomption

What Collège de l'Assomption does

Collège de l'Assomption is a private, non-profit (OSBL) secondary school operating from a single campus at 270 boulevard de l'Ange-Gardien in L'Assomption, Quebec, serving students aged 11-19 (secondary 1 through 5) and their families in the Lanaudiere region. The institution is staffed by 51-100 employees and offers two core academic programs: the Programme commun, which leads to the Quebec Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), and the Programme d'éducation intermédiaire (PEI), an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme affiliated with the IBO since 1998 and with SÉBIQ, which also confers the DESI diploma and a 2% CEGEP admission grade bonus.

The school's pedagogical architecture is anchored on a proprietary 'Couleurs' framework that allocates five weekly periods to student-configured learning across Passions (short-term exploratory activities), Concentrations (year-long specializations), Récupérations (recovery sessions), Enrichissement, and Étude (supervised study). More than ten concentrations are offered, spanning football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, baseball, futsal, dance, drama, music, programming, and robotics, supported by partnerships such as Royal Baseball and access to Entrepôt du baseball facilities. A parallel 'Collège numérique' initiative integrates digital tools into pedagogy, student services, and parent communication, complemented by a virtual campus tour.

As an OSBL, Collège de l'Assomption generates revenue almost exclusively through recurring annual tuition billed on a subscription model, with financial aid available to qualifying families; specific tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and regional, drawing on the classomption.qc.ca website, online admission portal, in-person open house events, the parent association APÉCLA, the alumni network AAACLA, and social media channels, with the Fondation du Collège de l'Assomption providing supplementary fundraising capacity.
