Portrait of a Graduate About UsAdmissionsUncategorized

Portrait of a Graduate

Portrait of a Graduate Inspired by the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, a graduate of De La Salle Institute Chicago, through their attitudes, actions and words, is:   A PERSON OF FAITH A De La Salle Institute graduate has faith in the presence of God; embraces the Christian values of love, respect, compassion and generosity; and actively nurtures their spirituality. Seeing the world through eyes of faith, a core principle of Lasallian education is “Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.” AN ADVOCATE FOR SERVICE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE A De La Salle Institute graduate seeks a life based on Christian values. The graduate is aware of poverty and injustice in the world and through education, community service and advocacy actively works to understand and dismantle systems of oppression. A De La Salle Institute graduate “Enters to Learn and Leaves to Serve” realizing the privilege of a Catholic, private education is for service to and solidarity with others. A BUILDER OF COMMUNITY A De La Salle Institute graduate actively builds community by respecting the value and dignity of all. A person steeped in the Lasallian charism is well-rounded and…

Lasallian Tradition Uncategorized

Lasallian Tradition

Lasallian Tradition “St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.” “Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.” “Live Jesus in Our Hearts, forever!” There’s nothing quite like hearing an auditorium of 700+ students and 60+ faculty and staff pray these words together, but even more so at the start of every class period, every school day. Whether it’s your first day at De, or at graduation, these words become part of your De La Salle Experience, grounding you in the Lasallian tradition that connects us to the world. To the world? Yes. When Meteors become members of the De La Salle community, they’re also welcomed into an expansive world-wide network and community of faith that extends much farther than our campus on 35th and Michigan. Since 1680, the Christian Brothers have been carrying the torch of de La Salle’s mission, resulting in thousands of Lasallian schools in over 80 countries. De La Salle Institute in Chicago is one of them. We teach based on the vision and spirituality of St. John Baptist de La Salle. A Lasallian education goes beyond academic excellence. Our teachers, led by the values that De La Salle taught his own teachers, strive to touch…
