De La Salle’s overriding concern in all that he did was the life of faith and the reality of God’s saving presence in the midst of daily experiences. Lasallian educators readily share their faith life and spiritually with others, both in their zeal for education and in their personal encounters. As a result, God’s presence gradually becomes an ever more living and appreciated reality.

The poor, the marginalized, and all who endure social injustice are an evident, clear priority in the planning, approach, and exercise of Lasallian ministries and those allies who work to support and champion them and equality for all.

Mutual respect and its results – patience, generosity, understanding, willingness to change, humor, and humility – are not the expectations but the rule in Lasallian instructions. Others have an inherent dignity derived from a humanity that God created and has fully redeemed. We treat ourselves and others as God would.

A Lasallian Educator teaches to inform a students’ conscience, not to persuade. In addition to facts, figures, skills, and critical thinking, a Lasallian Educator forms a person slowly toward spiritual maturity and responsible character. Lasallian schools intentionally educate a wide-range of students by providing a comprehensive curriculum with solid, diverse programs that meet recognized standards of excellence and integrate positive values and a world view perspective.

Community is at the heart of all Christian education and especially Lasallian education. Relationships are the privileged means of the educational encounter, and inclusion and understanding is the privileged means for realizing their transformative potential. We educate together as one community and in association with other communities.
