LASALLIAN TRADITIONS FAITH IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD CBU nurtures belief in the living presence of God in our world, calling you to a deeper awareness of relationship with a caring and loving God – encouraging you to see the world through the “eyes of faith”.

CONCERN FOR THE

POOR AND SOCIAL JUSTICE A core principle of CBU is expressed through the Lasallian ideal: “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve”. You will be called to an awareness of the poor and victims of injustice, and you will be afforded countless opportunities to respond to their needs.

RESPECT FOR ALL PERSONS CBU engages in a concerted effort to respect you, and the dignity of every person, through relationships that acknowledge each other’s identity as children of God. These relationships are at the heart of Lasallian education.

QUALITY

EDUCATION CBU offers the opportunity to advance your abilities and use your talents to critically examine the world in light of the message of the Gospels, taking greater responsibility for your own education. You will be prepared not only for college and career, but also for life.

INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

A united community where diversity is

respected, where no one is left out, and where everyone finds a place – your strengths and your limitations will be recognized and accepted within ‘The Lasallian Family’.
