History
The first school established and serves as the main school is located at Villa Olympia Subdivision, San Pedro, Laguna. It was conceptualized by Dr. Maximo C. Acierto, Jr. and Dr. Ethelwyn A. Acierto on October 1988 (which was known before as Our Lady of Assumption School) to cater to the growing needs of a fast growing population in the south. The school is seated in a 5,000 sq.m lot which was purchased from Forform Development Corporation the same year.
Pre-Elementary and First Year High School were offered during the first year of operations in the School Year of 1989-1990 and there were 377 students enrolled. After five years, Its founders decided to put up another campus, and this gave birth to the Santa Rosa branch located in San Lorenzo South Subdivision in the City of Santa Rosa offering a complete program from Pre-Elementary to High School.
In the year 2000, the third campus was opened in Phase 2, Mabuhay City Homes, Mamatid at the Municipality of Cabuyao. But this time, the College Department was opened which paved way to the changing of the name of the school into Our Lady of Assumption College. Several courses were initially offered, BSBA Major in Enterpreneurship, Management, Information System, BS in Computer Science, Bachelor in Elementary Education, Bachelor in Secondary Education, BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management, BS in Customs Administration, BS in Tourism, AB Political Science; And Two-Year Courses - Associate in Computer Secretarial and Associate in Hotel and Restaurant Management. In the same year, another property was bought located at Phase 6, Mabuhay City Homes, Mamatid but it won't be until 2004 before it opened to make way for the fourth campus which offered Pre-elementary to High School. After 5 years, the founders ventured further south to introduce the quality education that the Southern Tagalog has, they opened their fifth campus in Tanauan, Batangas located at N. Gonzales Street, Poblacion II. It is in the heart of the city and is very accessible to all public amenities.
