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.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]
