Something transformative is happening in the heart of Manhattan.

De La Salle Academy is an independent middle school in New York City for academically talented, economically less advantaged students in grades six through eight.

 

We are a diverse community of 135 students commuting from neighborhoods all over the Metropolitan area, including 40% from Queens, 41% from the Bronx, and 13% from Brooklyn.

 

Our mission and values are rooted in the Lasallian philosophy that centers social justice education and holds space for the social, emotional, and spiritual development of children.

 

Upon graduation, our students are well-equipped to become the leaders of tomorrow. We have transformed the lives of nearly 2,000 academically talented alums and have built the foundation for a lifetime of continuous learning.
