De La Salle Education in Strong Demand

Class of 2019 at Freshmen Orientation on August 20, 2015

The Freshmen Class enrollment continues to be strong in numbers, academics, faith, and athletics. The incoming class of 9th grade students was over 200 students again, continuing a strong stable enrollment trend for the school. That same class also saw the largest cohort of students elect to enroll in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Students in grades 4-8 have great opportunities this fall to experience why families continue to make the investment in a Catholic Lasallian education. Some of these events are: • Math+ for boys and girls in grades 6-8. This six-week course explores math topics that students rarely are exposed to in traditional junior high curriculums.

Prospective Pilot Appreciation Night,October 16. Any prospective student who brings with him this Collegiate or prints off the flyer from the DLS website will be given free admission into the DLS v. Catholic Central varsity football game on Friday, October 16, at Wayne State’s Adams Field.

Open House, November 8, from 12-3 pm. Two years in a row new families have listed this as one of the most impactful events in their decision process. We also have opportunities for students and parents to visit campus during the day and view first-hand what daily life is like at De La Salle Collegiate. • Pilot for a Day (shadowing): This is for any student in grades 7 or 8. The prospective student comes to DLS and follows a current freshman. The visiting student will get to witness classroom instruction, interchanges, and teacher-student interactions, along with meeting any important coaches, moderators, or school officials.

Coffee Talks: These are the perfect opportunity for parents and guardians to come into the building and see what daily life is like. You will meet with administrators, teachers, and counselors. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to observe classes, student interactions, and any other areas of interest. De La Salle continues to be a leader in education for young men in Macomb County and the state. I want to see you and your family at these great events so you can witness why the investment in a De La Salle education pays off for a lifetime, and how we can make it affordable for you. Finally, you can now find us on Twitter @DLSAdmissions.

God Bless and Go Pilots! Bill Burkhardt, ‘03 Director of Admissions
