The institution, previously known as Our Lady of Assumption School, was planned in 1988, and its first year of operation was in 1989. Its mission is to bring Christian education to the young men and women of the Southern Tagalog region.

During the first year of its operations, the first batch of classes housed at the San Pedro, Laguna campus comprised 377 students in the Pre-Elementary and first-year high school levels.

In 1994, its founders established a branch in Santa Rosa, Laguna, offering a complete program from Pre-Elementary to High School.

In the succeeding years, campuses in Cabuyao were established in 2000 and 2004. One of the big leaps of the institution was the change of its status from Our Lady of Assumption School to the Our Lady of Assumption College of Laguna Inc.

In 2009, the fifth campus opened in Batangas. It is located in the heart of the city.

The school year 2016–2017, the school started its operation on the new educational system.
