Assumption College (Thai: โรงเรียนอัสสัมชัญ) is a Roman Catholic all-boys private school in Bangkok, Thailand. The school was founded by Father Emile-August Colombet on 16 February 1885, and is the first school founded by the Order of Brothers of Christian Instruction of St Gabriel.[2][3] Assumption College is the third-oldest boys school in the country.[4]
The institution is named in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title “Our Lady of the Assumption”. The school provides education for students from years 2nd through 13th Grade. The matriculation, especially in the first grade is highly competitive.
