Welcome from the
Director of Admissions and Recruitment
Dear Prospective Parents and Guardians,
We’re delighted that you’re considering De La Salle Academy (DLSA) for your child’s middle school journey. As you learn more about DLSA, we hope you’ll discover what makes our school such a special place: a community rooted in values, designed specifically for middle schoolers, and committed to unlocking each student’s full potential.
At DLSA, our Lasallian mission guides everything we do. We’ve created a program specifically for the middle school years: one that balances academic rigor with creativity, emotional growth, and leadership development. We are proud to provide access to an affordable, world-class independent school education while preparing our students to thrive in high school, college, and beyond.
We take middle school seriously because we know how much these years matter. They lay the foundation for everything that follows, and we believe they should also be a time of discovery, creativity, purpose, and joy.
Ready to learn more about what makes DLSA such a special place? We invite you to begin by completing our Inquiry Form, which will be available in September 2026. This lets us know that you’re interested in learning more about the application process, attending an Open House, exploring financial aid and affordability, and taking the next steps toward beginning your DLSA journey.
Once you’ve completed the Inquiry Form, you may also begin the application process by creating an account through our online Admissions Portal.
If you have any questions along the way, our friendly Admissions team is always happy to help. Please call us at 212-316-5840, ext. 104, or contact us directly at admissions@dlsanyc.org. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Warmly,
Vinesha Phillip-Civil, Director of Admissions and Enrollment
