Assumption School Students in grades 5 and 8 will take the ACRE (Assessment of Catholic Religious Education) test during the week of January 12, 2015. The purpose of ACRE is to evaluate the effectiveness of a religion program. A religion program in its totality includes the printed curriculum used in a teaching-learning session, plus formative experiences in and with the faith community, for example, Sunday Liturgy.

ACRE data reports also shed light on those faith formation elements that are not the exclusive domain of the school or parish religion program, for example, physically getting students to the sacraments of penance and Sunday Liturgy (taken from: frequently asked questions about ACRE testing ).
