Boarding Activities & Recreation

Home / Boarding / Activities & Recreation

At Assumption College, we believe that life outside the classroom is just as important as academic success. It’s why we strive to create a well-rounded boarding experience that balances academics, recreation, and personal growth.

Our boarding program offers a wide range of activities and recreational opportunities to help students explore their passions, build friendships, and create lasting memories.

Co-Curricular Opportunities

Boarders are encouraged to pursue their personal interests and passions through a variety of co-curricular activities. Whether it’s excelling in sports, exploring the arts, caring for animals, or giving back to the community, there’s something for everyone. These activities not only enrich students’ lives but also help them develop valuable skills and a sense of purpose.
