Lasallian Educational Outcomes – LEO’s

Derived from the school’s Mission Statement and Philosophy in a process which involved the faculty and administration as well as other members of the broader school community, the Lasallian Educational Outcomes (LEOs) are general statements regarding the educational acumen and skills expected of students who graduate from Saint Mary’s.  Taken together, those outcomes constitute the educational profile of a student upon completion of four years of study at Saint Mary’s.  Education at Saint Mary’s is, therefore, directed toward these LEOs.
