Assumption Catholic School (ACS) has been educating students since 1963 in a well-maintained building on beautifully landscaped grounds in a quiet residential section of Perth Amboy.

A Catholic school education is an investment in your child’s future. Children that have a challenging and comprehensive course of studies in the primary grades establish a foundation that prepares them for success in high school, college, and life.

ACS features a full-day pre-K (for four-year-olds) through 8th grade on a single campus. This offers a single drop-off and pick-up point for families with more than one elementary school child. ACS offers before-school and after-school care.

ACS is conducted by the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption Parish and is staffed by the Missionary Sisters of the Mother of God and lay teachers. Our students come from Perth Amboy as well as from surrounding communities; we even have students from Monmouth, Somerset and Union Counties.

Family-oriented with small class sizes; ACS promotes Catholic values, academic excellence, patriotism, individual thinking, personal responsibility, and civic duty. Assumption Catholic School accepts children of all faiths.

Family is the heart of Catholic education; after all, the home is the primary school. Our active Family School Association (FSA) works closely with school personnel in support of our children.

ACS is fully accredited by the Commission on Elementary Schools - Middle States Association.
