Welcome to DeLaSalle Education Center
For nearly 40 years, DeLaSalle has developed and honed its program model on three primary ingredients for student success:
- Academic classes that are small, rigorous and personalized;
- Holistic support services that provide on-site interventions and address students' life barriers; and
- Workforce development training that is integrated into everyday learning.
The mission of DeLaSalle Education Center is to provide a holistic environment that offers students an opportunity to improve learning and life skills.
