Think critically. See differently. Speak confidently.
The shared Lasallian heritage is more than just an educational movement – it is a living reality that we experience daily in our work and in our lives. Inspired by the charism of St. John Baptist de La Salle, St. John’s provides countless educational opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
Beyond the walls of St. John’s, Lasallian schools are located in 84 countries throughout the world, educating more than 900,000 students.

In 2015, St. John's welcomed several new residents to campus - the fish, mollusks, coral and sea anemones that call the school's new 410-gallon reef aquarium home. The saltwater tank serves as a living laboratory for our science classes, allowing our marine biology students to perform fieldwork right here on campus. The aquarium has already become a point of interest for students and visitors alike.
