Overview
Founded in 1848 by the Brothers of Christian Schools, La Salle Acadmey is a college-preparatory Catholic High School for young men located in Manhattan's East Village.
At La Salle Academy, we guide students to experience social, emotional, and spirtual growth.
We guide our students as they become young men respectful of social diversity and intellectual honesty.
We have a long tradition of helping young men grow intellectually, spiritually, and physically.
Our roots as a Jesuit, Catholic school commit us to guiding our students to be Men for Others who work for the greater glory of God and the betterment of the world.
It is a bold mission, but one that, when undertaken wholeheartedly, yields magnificent results.
