Overview
Saint Raphael Academy is one of the finest and most challenging Catholic, diocesan, coeducational, college preparatory high schools in the area.
Here, every student feels welcomed. With a 13-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio, a student population of 450 students, and a 8-building campus, we are a school that is just the right size.
We are large enough to offer our students a comprehensive and competitive college preparatory high school experience, but we`re small enough so that we know all of our students.
At Saint Raphael Academy, we are more than just a school community, we are family.
La Salle Academy has as its mission the education of young men and women of diverse backgrounds, with a special concern for the working class and the poor, in the tradition of St.
John Baptist de La Salle's ideals of faith, service, and community, in a Catholic college preparatory school.
