Our Faith Life

Ancillae-Assumpta Academy is a private Catholic school that warmly welcomes families and students of all faiths into our community.

All students participate in the study of the Catholic faith, share in liturgical worship and prayer experiences, and actively serve others both inside and outside the school community. At the same time, children of other faith traditions are encouraged to share their own beliefs and religious practices.

Sacramental Program

The second grade Religion curriculum includes preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist. With the permission of their pastor, Catholic students have the option to receive these Sacraments at school in the fall of second grade. The sixth grade Religion curriculum includes preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which students receive in their parishes in either 7th or 8th Grade.

Service Learning

We incorporate service learning into our rich curriculum with the intention of framing the students’ academic development in a Christian framework, recognizing that the gifts that we have been given are meant to be strengthened and shared in solidarity with our brothers and sisters. Students learn to appreciate and to care for the particular gifts and abilities they have received, especially their education, and recognize their responsibility to develop these gifts and to share them in creative ways.

St. Raphaela Mary Chapel

Ancillae's school chapel is located in the first and second grade hallway. The chapel is open every morning for students to visit. Classes also have the opportunity to come to chapel for prayer services, adoration, and a class mass. This welcoming space gives children a quiet and still environment to reflect and pray.
