Established in 1850, La Salle Institute has been a cornerstone of the Capital Region for more than 160 years, serving men grades six through twelve and giving them an education that is rich in academics, morality and leadership. While La Salle has witnessed great change in its years of existence, its original mission and purpose have remained – to educate students in a loving, caring, supportive environment, and to inspire them to become productive members of their communities with a commitment to truth, honor and duty.

La Salle is a college preparatory school backed in academic success. That’s why we offer students small class sizes, personalized attention and a commitment to a Lasallian education. This model creates an atmosphere where all students are encouraged to succeed—inspired by their teachers as well as their peers.

An exclusive benefit La Salle enjoys is its proximity to Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC). La Salle Institute is situated adjacent to HVCC, and students daily cross a paved walkway joining the two campuses. Every morning, many La Salle students share HVCC’s stellar engineering, science and humanities classes with regional college students, and these credits—as well as the experience gained—transfer to many of the best colleges throughout the country.

With this strong HVCC partnership, as well as the constant personal interaction students receive from our guidance department, it is no surprise La Salle Institute enjoys 100% college acceptance, and has for quite a long time.

La Salle doesn’t only provide boys with an education rooted in academic success, it offers something even greater. The opportunity for moral development. This commitment to morality, leadership and personal responsibility guides our boys as they become strong men of character and substance.

A man of strong character, prepared to face the difficulties of life. This is the hallmark of a Lasallian education.
