Our Mission

A Mission Born of
Faith and Compassion

“To give a human and Christian education to the young, especially the poor.”

The Lasallian mission embodies the vision and innovative spirit of founder Saint John Baptist de La Salle — the patron saint of teachers — centred on Catholic values, personal relationships, and academic excellence.

De La Salle popularised teaching students in their native language, establishing a community of educators who could provide continuity to the school year — an innovation still present in today’s classrooms.
