Founded in 1848, we are the oldest continuously operating Lasallian school in the U.S. We provide a faith-based high school education for young men. A private all-boys Catholic high school serving the young men of NYC since 1848. The mission of La Salle Academy, a rigorous college-preparatory high school, is to educate students of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds with special outreach to those most in need. We provide a nurturing environment, which fosters spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional and physical growth in the Roman Catholic tradition and the Lasallian spirit, as embodied in Saint John Baptist de La Salle. We create experiences of community within the school and encourage each student to develop his gifts and talents for his own growth, as well as to engage in the caring service of others, through academic, extra-curricular and spiritual programs.
