Lasallian Education and Service For Others

As a Christian Brothers’ High School, De La Salle Collegiate continues in the Catholic traditions of the innovative educator St. John Baptist de La Salle, who founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools. De La Salle engages in programs in which students’ personal, social and religious values may take root and in which students may grow in mature attitudes and behavior in all human relationships.

De La Salle strives to foster an environment of faith that produces a reciprocal respect among all persons in the community and to establish an atmosphere in which community members may openly bear witness to the Gospel values and a preferential option for the poor.

De La Salle Collegiate believes in the power and strength of community building, and shared service experience. It is our intention that each student be given opportunities to experience the qualitative aspect of service bearing witness to what Jesus calls the two greatest commandments: to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39).

De La Salle’s service program strives to increasingly expose students to various community needs and provides opportunities to engage in short and long-term remedies to those needs, including significant direct contact with the needy.
