Collège de l'Assomption

Collège de l'Assomption (English: College of the Assumption) is a private secondary school located in the municipality of L'Assomption in Montreal. It was founded in 1832 by Jean-Baptiste Meilleur. Meilleur served as the first superintendent of education for Lower Canada from 1842 to 1855. Canada's seventh prime minister, Wilfrid Laurier, is an alumnus of the school. In 1864 a book on the history of the school, Annales historiques du Collège de l'Assomption depuis sa fondation by Canadian journalist Arthur Dansereau, was published by Eusèbe Senécal. A second history of the college, Histoire du Collège de l'Assomption by Anastase Forget, was published in 1933 by Imprimerie populaire; an imprint of Le Devoir.
