Why La Salle?

	Academic Excellence For over 150 years, La Salle College High School has provided a college preparatory education for young men in the Philadelphia area.  La Salle boys are taught to be critical thinkers who are well prepared academically, able to communicate effectively, and lead confidently.
	Dedicated Faculty Within the academic program you will find the collective work of a faculty that is grounded in the mission of Lasallian education, while, at the same time, understanding the rigorous demands of a college preparatory school. Mentors as well as educators, La Salle’s dedicated teachers drive a challenging and innovative curriculum.
	Extraordinary Extracurriculars With over 50% of the student body participating in an athletic program that features sixteen sports, it is no surprise that La Salle has won over eighty titles in the past decade.  La Salle’s student athletes strive for not only competition, but also respect, teamwork, and community. Outstanding programs in music and the arts, speech and debate, and technology are but a few of the other opportunities that develop character and instill both leadership and a sense of responsibility.
	First-Class Facilities The 84-acre campus of La Salle College High School provides the finest facilities available in Catholic education today. In the last twenty years, the school has added over 100,000 square feet of space dedicated to academics and the arts and has acquired 34 acres of land that have provided six additional athletic fields.
	Commitment to Service La Salle College High School graduates live their faith through their actions, recognize the inter-connectedness of the world, and act on their obligation to remedy injustice. Through its many poignant service programs, La Salle fosters an awareness of local and world communities and the importance of taking responsibilities on both platforms.
	Caring Community La Salle College High School is a community whose students are taught to make use of their freedom and overcome prejudices, ready-made ideas, and social pressures. La Salle boys are encouraged to listen, seek, understand, trust, love, respect, and contemplate – all in an attempt to develop in the image of God.

La Salle College High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the right, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
