Assets School was established in 1955 at the request of military families who needed specialized educational services for their children.[2] Assets High School was established in 1991, with the addition of two ninth-grade students.[2] The campus was expanded in 1999, with the help of finance from the he Charles B. Wang International Foundation including special purpose classrooms such as labs, kitchen facilities, art and drama rooms, and 25% more instructional space.[2] The school merged with the Academy of the Pacific in 2014, and in 2015 Assets High School opened for summer school on the academy's former campus in Alewa Heights.[3]
