Values That Inspire Us
As an educational community rooted in the Lasallian spiritual and pedagogical legacy, we promote and live the values that guide every action inside and outside the classroom:
Faith
Lasallian faith is a living, communal encounter with Christ. It strengthens hope and inspires students and families to actively engage in causes that transform society in light of the Gospel.
Fraternity
Fraternity calls us to recognize the dignity of every person and build meaningful connections. We foster united, supportive communities committed to the common good and care for our shared home.
Justice
We understand justice as the path to peace, respect, and inclusion. We promote dialogue, acceptance of differences, and conscious participation in building a just social coexistence.
Service
Service arises from solidarity and becomes concrete actions that support the most vulnerable. Inspired by Jesus Christ and our founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle, we cultivate generous giving and love for others.
Commitment
Commitment means acting with ethical responsibility, humanism, and Christian awareness. It involves reflecting and transforming reality through active participation, remembering that “one commitment leads to another,” as lived by our founder.
