2015-2016 Community Benefits Report
How do we define success? Is it defined by the accumulation of wealth, in the accumulation of prestige, or does it mean something deeper – something much more important? Here at Assumption, we believe success means a life well-lived, a life that is guided by a dedication to one’s fellow men and women. Success is measured not by what we gain, but what we can provide to others.
2013-2014 Community Benefits Report
To Fr. Emmanuel d’Alzon, the founder of the Assumptionist order, an education was not simply a path to personal gain – its fruits were to be shared with everyone. It was not enough to succeed on one’s own, it was imperative that one also help others succeed. Today, Assumption is proud to continue this rich educational philosophy of Fr. d’Alzon. We believe that a well-lived life is one that sparks a light that illuminates the world and that service to others is a hallowed obligation we are privileged to undertake, a lesson we aspire to instill in our students.
