Abstract [eng] The research field of this article has been little analysed. The assumptionist education has its roots in the 19th century France, and nowadays is implemented in many parts of the world, including Lithuania. The aim of the article is to analyse the sources of the assumptionist education and its tradition. To achieve this aim, following goals are pursued: 1) to discuss the conditions and premises that influenced the creation of Assumption schools based on the archive material and the biography of Marie Eugenie Milleret; 2) to reconstruct the process of organising the first Assumption school in Paris in 1841 and the educational work that was done in it based on the archive material; 3) to reveal essential historical characteristics of this tradition based on the analysis of the “Counsels on education” written by Marie Eugenie Milleret. In order to fulfil these goals, the article analyses scientific literature on the Assumptionist education and the archive material. The historical-theological approach proposed by G. Groppo (1991) was chosen. It claims that an education tradition is born from personal and communal faith experience and gets its shape in relation to the historical context. Religious education, as a reference point of any Catholic educational paradigm, is an integral part of global education. The research reveals that: 1. Marie Eugenie Milleret’s, the foundress of the Congregation of the Religious of the Assumption, personal faith experience had a decisive role in the creation and direction of the assumptionist education paradigm. This determined her choice to open schools for bourgeoisie girls whose families were not satisfied with traditional Catholic schools. It also determined the importance given to value education.
