Rooted in the Lasallian Tradition

At La Salle Catholic School, our mission is inspired by the enduring legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of educators. We proudly embrace the five core Lasallian principles, which serve as the foundation of our educational philosophy and guide everything we do.

At La Salle Catholic School, we are dedicated to fostering a learning environment where academic excellence, spiritual growth, and moral responsibility thrive. By living out these principles, we inspire our students to become compassionate, well-rounded individuals who are not only prepared for success but are also committed to making a positive impact on the world. Our holistic approach ensures that every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their fullest potential while embracing the values of empathy, service, and integrity.

Lasallian Core Principles

The Lasallian Core Principles serve as the foundation of our mission to provide holistic education rooted in faith and service. These five guiding principles—Faith in the Presence of God, Respect for All Persons, Quality Education, Inclusive Community, and Concern for the Poor and Social Justice—shape every aspect of our learning environment. Together, they inspire students as discussed below;

Concern for the Poor and Social Justice

Service lies at the core of the Lasallian mission. At La Salle Catholic School, we actively instill in our students the importance of reaching out and supporting those in need through meaningful and impactful community service projects. These experiences encourage students to engage with their communities, understand the challenges others face, and develop a genuine sense of responsibility toward helping others. By nurturing empathy and inspiring them to take thoughtful action, we are shaping our students to become strong advocates for justice, compassion, and positive change in society.
