Students may then choose their electives from the following list:

• Physics.  

Additionally, students undertake modules in Careers, S.P.H.E., Physical Education, and Religious Education.

Assumption Secondary School also offers its students a number of prestigious third-level scholarships, including one to the Dublin Business School. Many of our Leaving Certificate students have pursued further study at Irish universities and third-level institutions thanks to the Trinity Access Programme.
