De La Salle Middle School was founded in 2001 by the Christian
Brothers of the Midwest. With the goal of providing a quality education
to underserved 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students in North St. Louis’
African-American community, De La Salle offers an empowering
education centered on comprehensive academic preparation, small
class sizes, and dedicated teachers and staff, all within the frame
work of an extended school day and a year-round academic calendar.
De La Salle educates 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students, but our
school’s focus extends beyond the middle school years, as well as
beyond our school building. We help place students in one of St.
Louis’ preparatory high schools and offer them academic and
counseling support throughout their high school and college years.
De La Salle is a holistic place where students are nurtured
academically, physically, morally, and spiritually. As a neighborhood
school that instills values and fosters accountability, we believe
that excellence in education increases individuals’ opportunities while
also building stronger families and a better community.
