YOUNG LASALLIANS

Welcome to the Junior School at La Salle College, a co-educational institution where students in Grades 4 to 7 thrive. Our commitment to whole-child development ensures a holistic approach to academic excellence, leadership skills, personal growth, sports, and cultural activities. We believe in empowering our students to engage with learning, embrace opportunities, and build self-esteem, equipping them with essential values, knowledge, and skills for success in a global society that values both proficiency and compassion.

Our dedicated educators and supportive parents collaborate to enhance the formative years of learning, laying a strong foundation for lifelong education and fostering global citizenship among our students.

At La Salle College, we aim to unleash the potential of every child, encouraging them to learn with passion and lead with purpose.

BE INTELLECTUAL

La Salle College seeks to encourage excellence in learning. Our ambition is to develop in each learner an enquiring mind and a life-long love of learning. Through enthusiastic and inspiring teaching, excellent resources, and a broad, balanced curriculum, learners are well prepared not merely for the demands of tertiary institutions one day, but also for a fulfilling future.

CAPS is our starting point, but in each subject, work is planned to stimulate and challenge. We have high expectations of our learners and track the progress of each learner carefully so that the standard and pace of the work suits the individual and ensures that they fulfil their potential.
