More Than a School. A Place to Belong.

Individualized Learning

At De LaSalle Academy, we recognize that every student learns differently. Through small classes, personalized instruction, and a supportive environment, we help students discover their strengths and reach their potential.

Growing Beyond Academics

Education is about more than grades. We nurture confidence, independence, friendships, and social-emotional skills that help our students succeed in school and beyond.

The Dragon Family

Every student deserves a place where they feel accepted, valued, and celebrated. Through school traditions, our House System, and a strong sense of community, our Dragons learn what it means to belong.

I cannot begin to express the hope that we have received as parents since our daughter began at De LaSalle Academy. Before enrolling, we felt scared and unsure of what our daughter's educational journey would be like. Our experiences in public education left us feeling hopeless and discouraged. She struggled both academically and socially and it took a huge toll on her self-esteem. Since coming to De LaSalle I have found an amazing community of teachers, administrators, and fellow parents who have genuinely cared about our daughter's well-being. De LaSalle has supported her and us by building upon her strengths. They have provided her with true individualized instruction to help her achieve her goals. Things that seemed impossible before for our daughter, such as learning to read, have now become amazing successes that we get to celebrate! De LaSalle has given us a hope for her future that I know would not have been possible before.

De Lasalle has given us opportunities that as parents of a special needs child we never thought were even a possibility!! Things that atypical families often take for granted are HUGE highlights in our lives and more importantly in the lives of our children! Things like making friends, having typical classroom and daily life exposure to sitting in an auditorium watching your child receive an award on a stage are things that may seem small but are life changing for us and so very special. I personally never thought I would have the opportunity to sit sideline at a school sporting event while cheering on my daughter and her friends and this school has changed our lives and given us SO much hope for our child and family's future .For the first time ever I truly feel nothing is off limits for what our daughter can achieve or do and that is truly all because of the comfort, structure, and support that De Lasalle has provided us as a school and an amazing loving community.

From the moment my son walked through the doors on his first day at De LaSalle Academy, his life changed. I pushed hard to get him into a program like this because I knew—deep in my heart—that it would allow him to truly thrive. And it did. From learning how to socialize, to finally being part of a community where he felt understood, my son came home day after day saying, “I love school, Mama.” In that moment, I knew this was the best decision I could have made as a parent. To this day, he still loves school. He enjoys his classmates, and he genuinely loves the environment around him. I knew in my heart that public school was not the right fit for him. People whispered about this school—suggesting it was only for children with major disabilities. But I’m here to say this: this school is for all children who are special and unique. And that is what I love most about De LaSalle. Every child here has their own story. Thank you!

My son's team mentioned De LaSalle to me as an alternate choice for his education. De LaSalle has been an absolute god-send to our family. We are absolutely grateful that he has been able to see school as a second home, instead of an overwhelming, forced activity. De LaSalle is truly a magical place, his story is one of endless stories about the positive and priceless impact this school has had on children and families. Not only does this school nurture special needs students currently, it helps families prepare their children for the future by offering knowledge and assistance at a personal level with various programs beyond the brick walls. I am beyond grateful for everything De LaSalle has done to change his outlook on education and everything they have done for us as a family. I am thankful he is able to be a member of the De LaSalle Academy due to the generous support of others. This school is an absolute blessing.

There was a time when my son would wake up dreading school. He struggled so much that he began to believe he simply wasn’t smart. By fourth grade, he was still behind in basic math and felt defeated. As a single mom, I worried constantly about his future. I tried another school hoping it would help, but instead he fell further behind. I felt helpless. When De LaSalle Academy was recommended to us, I assumed it was out of reach financially. Thankfully, I was encouraged to call anyway. The staff didn’t just welcome us; they walked me through the Step Up program and helped secure additional scholarship funding. Because of donors and scholarships, my son’s life changed. Today, he earns A’s and B’s. He raises his hand in class. He writes with confidence. He is in Algebra. But more than the academic growth, he now believes he is capable. That belief is priceless. De LaSalle didn’t just educate my son — they restored his confidence, his hope, and his future. — A forever grateful mom

We finally feel my daughter is exactly where she belongs, she is thriving and it wouldn’t be possible without everyone at De Lasalle.

Choosing De LaSalle has been a blessing to our family! Teachers/coaches/other staff go above and beyond, to not only, educate but also promote spiritual growth & character development. Their level of experience, professionalism and kindness is outstanding. The number of sports and clubs they offer is impressive. How much they deeply care for the students is evident. It is truly one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever witnessed. I feel honored that my son is able to be a part of such a beautiful school family!

This is our second year attending Dr LaSalle. Our son has struggled with learning challenges since first grade. We attended three schools over the course of his education and each one promised more than the last only to be followed by frustration and disappointment. Our son has grown more in the last two years at De LaSalle than we ever thought possible. After two short years he is becoming a confident student, he’s not only grown academically, he’s also grown socially and emotionally. He looks forward to school now and while he loves holiday breaks he will be the first one asking when school starts again. Words can’t truly describe how impactful De LaSalle has been to our son and our family. We are forever grateful for the one school that wasn’t focused on promises but progress.
