Ancillae-Assumpta Academy is a private, co-educational, Catholic elementary school conducted by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Founded in 1946 Ancillae-Assumpta Academy grew from its beginnings as a school for girls, Ancillae Academy, to the addition of a school for boys in 1955, Assumpta Academy, to the merger of the two schools in 1969.

The community of Ancillae-Assumpta Academy embraces the educational mission of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an international community of women, whose ministry is education in service of the Gospel. Through the pursuit of personal excellence in a warm, friendly environment, the Handmaids mission is to: "celebrate diversity, nurture faith development, side with the poor, approach the world with hope and hospitality, act as leaven for  community building, reverence creation, and share all that we are and have."
