ABOUT

— OUR MISSION

Mission La Salle Institute is an independent, Catholic college preparatory school serving students from grades five through twelve.

Its mission is to educate young men and women in the Lasallian tradition by providing a loving, caring, supportive environment, encouraging them to realize their whole potential and become moral, responsible, and productive members of their communities with a sense of purpose and dedication to truth, honor, and duty.

La Salle accomplishes this through excellence in teaching by a devoted staff in a small, student-centered environment, which imparts Christian values in the tradition of our Founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle. This commitment is shared by all members of the Lasallian Community.


La Salle Institute is an independent, Catholic college preparatory school serving young men and women in grades six through twelve.

La Salle Institute was founded by The Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1850 to serve the growing immigrant population coming into Troy, NY. A caring and supportive environment enables young men and women to grow in their relationship with God. La Salle accomplishes this by deepening their faith through example, instruction and service. Academic success is achieved by providing a strong college preparatory academic program that stresses the academic growth of each young person. Our community encourages, challenges and supports each student’s journey to reach their potential.
