OUR BACKGROUND
Established in 2010 with 56 nursery, kindergarten, and pre-primary students, Maria Assumpta has experienced significant growth. The primary section was subsequently added, and our student population now exceeds 800 pupils. We provide spacious classrooms, a dining hall, and separate dormitories for boys and girls.
Our dedicated team has expanded to 58 teaching and non-teaching staff members. Security is a priority, with four security personnel and a securely fenced campus. To ensure optimal service delivery, staff members reside both on and near the school grounds, with matrons, nurses, and secretaries available 24/7.
We have access to reliable water sources, including tap water from the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) and pumped reservoir water. To accommodate our growing student body, we are currently constructing two multi-story buildings for the nursery and primary sections, which are being utilized as construction progresses. Our facilities are supported by both hydroelectric and solar power, enhancing our production unit and classroom environments.
