La Salle Catholic College Preparatory is a private co-ed Roman Catholic College Preparatory School in Milwaukie, Oregon, near Portland. Under the Archdiocese of Portland, the Brothers of the Christian Schools established La Salle in 1966 as part of their worldwide network of schools which began in 1679 with St. John Baptist de La Salle in Rheims, France. The school has been accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission since 1979.
In 2010, the school installed a 98-kilowatt system using funding from a subsidiary of MDU Resources. The system provides 10-20% of the school's power.
La Salle Preparatory emphasizes its strong curriculum for college preparation, offering ten Advanced Placement (AP) courses in addition to fifteen honors courses, including some honors courses in which students are eligible to receive college credit for courses from various Portland area colleges and transfer the credit to their college upon graduation from the school.
In accordance with the institution’s mission of educating the whole person, La Salle offers a variety of clubs and programs in addition to its athletic programs, including: Drama, Art, ASB/Council, Lasallian Ministry, Earth Club, National Honor Society, Chess Club, and Community Service. In addition, the school offers its students a chance to participate in competitive educational immersion programs, such as Harvard Model Congress, Lasallian Student Leaders, and Lasallian Youth Assembly, as well as language immersion programs over the summer to Germany, France, and Costa Rica. The school also offers a heavily funded student counseling and planning program, employing three personal counselors, a student advancement director, and two college counselors.
