Previously known as Our Lady of Assumption School, the Our Lady of Assumption College was established in 1989. Its mission is to bring Christian education to the young men and women of the Southern Tagalog region.

During its first year of operations, the school had 377 students in kindergarten, elementary, and high school levels in its San Pedro, Laguna campus.

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

Additional campuses were established in 2000 and 2004. During these years, the institution underwent a major status change from Our Lady of Assumption School to the Our Lady of Assumption College of Laguna, Inc.

In 2009, the fifth campus opened at the heart of Batangas City.

The school year 2016–2017 saw the school adopting the government-mandated new educational curriculum.
