Excellence with Purpose

What Makes La Salle College Unique

La Salle College is not just another educational institution—it's a transformative force combining proven excellence, innovative financing, and values-based formation to create leaders who will change Kenya.

Innovative Financing: A Sustainable Solution

Breaking Down Barriers to Quality Education

Accessibility Without Compromise

La Salle College will operate on a groundbreaking shared community model that creates access while maintaining financial sustainability.

This is not charity—it is a carefully designed community of mutual support. Three-quarters of our students will pay full tuition, enabling one-quarter to attend on scholarship. Every student admitted will be qualified to succeed academically. Financial circumstances will not determine who gets in—only talent and potential.

Since 1680, the De La Salle Christian Brothers have established a global network of more than one million students attending 1,100 schools and universities in 80 countries.

A Proven Track Record in Kenya and Africa

Established Excellence

The De La Salle Christian Brothers have been serving Kenya for decades through a network of outstanding educational institutions. The Brothers currently operate nine exceptional schools across Kenya, each embodying the Lasallian commitment to quality, faith, service, community, and respect.

Throughout Africa, the Brothers have earned a reputation as trusted, responsible leaders in education. Lasallian educators in Africa are effectively living the vision of their Founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, who was known for practical educational innovation.

Just as De La Salle provided education that was relevant to poor children in 18th century France, Lasallian educators in 21st century Africa are preparing ethical and competent workers to meet significant workforce needs in the education, science and technology sectors.

The Lasallian brand means something in Kenya — it stands for quality, integrity and transformation.
