This beautiful building was built in 1875. It is the oldest institution for higher learning west of Toronto, and the first Secondary school for boys in Southern Ontario.
The Chapel on the North end was completed in 1907, and is owned by the Basilian Fathers.
In 1786, two religious Sisters were sent from Quebec to start a school for girls in the parish. In 1857, the Jesuits opened Assumption college for young men at the south end of where the present building stands. The Assumption college building was used as military barracks during the Fenian raids of 1866. It was demolished in 1965, and the old South wing in 1984.
