Mount Assisi School, is an English Medium School located at Bhagalpur, Bihar, India. It is affiliated to CISCE. It was established in 1972 by Franciscan friars (Third Order Regular of St. Francis).
The school started on the premises of Franciscan Ashram in the heart of Bhagalpur Town, in the vicinity of the general post office (Badi post office). (Note that the only missionary school, at that time, in Bhagalpur, was the co-educational Mount Carmel School).
Principals including Fr. Louis K, Fr. Job TOR, Fr. Jose Chaklakal TOR, Fr. Jose Thottunkal TOR, and Fr. Thomas Chhitokulam TOR made the school what it is today. With the vision of Fr. Jose Chaklakal TOR, a new campus was created in the mid 1980s. The school was split into Junior Section (Nursery to Class V), which is located near Badi post office, and the new Senior Section (Class Nursery onwards) on the new campus. The campus was built east of Bhagalpur Town in the vicinity of Ranitalab and the Bhagalpur Engineering College. In 2012, a new building for the +1 and +2 students was built with a large auditorium.
In the late 1980s girls were allowed in and a co-educational school was born. In 1992 the Plus Two wing was built, initially for a Science Wing and was co-educational. Fr. Jose Thottunkal TOR and Fr. Thomas Chittokulam TOR, then Principal and Vice Principal were in charge.
