"DeLaSalle Education Center has taught me math. My math teacher showed me how to do math problems even when that was the thing that I hated the most! I stuck with math. DeLaSalle has also taught me a lot more than math, too, and I thank them for this."

Welcome to DeLaSalle Education Center!

DeLaSalle Education Center, founded in 1971, was the first fully accredited private alternative school in the Kansas City area, and is now the region's only private secular alternative school system educating nearly 350 urban youth daily at three schools.

In Loving Memory of Norman Sanders:

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of Norman Sanders' passing on Monday, August 11, 2008. Norman, a DeLaSalle Founding Board Chairman, was a distinguished man and will be deeply missed by those who knew him as well as the many young lives he may never know he touched.
