Concentrations Program
The La Salle College High School Concentrations Program is taking learning to another level by allowing students to embark on an innovative journey where they experience various career fields and earn credentials during their high school years. Through elective classes, clubs, and experiential learning activities, course content, interviews, site visits, service-learning, and independent research, our young men gain unparalleled academic and real-world insights. These customized pathways are enabling our young men to discover and pursue their passions, resulting in deeper and more meaningful learning.
A student in any one of the six concentrations can expect to work on and off campus connecting his experiences in pursuit of his goals and a deeper level of understanding. La Salle students in a concentration take a senior seminar course, create professional portfolios, and complete capstone projects. This rigorous experience serves our students in a variety of ways, but most importantly, facilitates the development of the skills, habits, work ethic, and character needed in our world today. In addition, the Concentrations Program helps an individual to decipher if these fields are potential college majors or career options for them and inspires them to learn more and do more with that knowledge.
