Assumption Academy Boys' School

Map of the US indicating where the academy is located in Walton, Kentucky

Assumption Academy is a Catholic boys' elementary and high school located in Walton, Kentucky, just 20 minutes south of Cincinnati, Ohio, and one hour north of Lexington, Kentucky.

To raise Holy Priests, encourage religious vocations, and build Holy Catholic families, it is essential to equip young men with the will and strength to embrace their faith and fight for mercy and justice.

Assumption Academy offers a comprehensive Catholic education firmly rooted in traditional principles, which have built Western civilization. This commitment to tradition ensures that our students receive both academic excellence and strong moral guidance.

Why Build a New All-Boys School?

  • Address the current space limitations
  • Accommodate the growing student population
  • Ensure educational continuity
  • Allow for future expansion
  • Reflect the strong community support for the Academy's mission

Space Constraints

The original school, located in the church basement, is insufficient for the current student population. The school lacks adequate space to teach Kindergarten through 4th grade.

Rapid Growth

Since 2010, the parish community has experienced a five-fold increase in members, growing to over 1,500 parishioners. The City of Walton's population has doubled to 5,600 residents.

Educational Continuity

Constructing a new school building will allow Assumption Academy to accommodate boys from Kindergarten through 12th grade, ensuring continuity in their education.

Future Expansion

Phase one will provide an elementary and high school with shared classrooms. This design allows for future classroom expansion, ensuring the school can adapt to continued growth.

Community Support

The school's income relies solely on goodwill donations from parents, parishioners, benefactors, and corporate contributions. Building a new school demonstrates community commitment.

Timely Implementation

Phase one is set to accept its first students by the 2028-29 school year, with phases two and three to be completed by the 2030-31 school year.
