Love the inner city feel and diversity for a Catholic school. As a nine year veteran Delasalle parent of four students passing through the halls of Delasalle, I can honestly say that the teachers and all of the staff truly care about all of the kids. They truly prepare kids for college, or whatever lies in their future. There are so many activities so that there is something for every kid to be involved in.

De has been a magic school for my kids. The air of inclusiveness, academic rigor, and activity offerings means there is something for everyone. Kids leave prepared for college, but also as good human beings. De truly is a family.

As a former De La Salle graduate of 1987, 30 years later and I still love this school as much as I did then! Now, I have a Senior that will be graduating in 2018! I love it, she loves it! I can't say enough about the culture and atmosphere of De La Salle. Faith based, strong curriculum and a world of diversity within the student body unlike any other private school in Minnesota! A student body that is truly like one big family! So awesome to see these kids mesh the way they do, and then go off to be extremely successful. The curriculum is rigorous, but the support is tremendous. Definitely unlike no other. I would recommend this school over any other private institution in Minnesota for multiple reason! Can't go wrong here!

This high school has more than prepared our daughter for the next steps in her life. She is leaving with multiple college offers and all have given her merit scholarships. While at DeLaSalle she grew in her academic life, spiritual life and community service. She had the opportunity to travel abroad, participate in sports and quiz bowl teams. I would encourage all to look at and strongly consider sending their children to this high school!

"DE" gave me the rounded education and study habits to go on and be a successful doctor of medicine. Over 95% of my class has been very successful. What more could ask for?
