One La Salle Prayer

Let me be the change I want to see
To do with strength and wisdom
all that needs to be done
and become the hope that I can be.

Set me free from my fears and hesitations
grant me courage and humility
Fill me with spirit to face the challenge
and start the change we long to see

Even if I'm not the light, I can be the spark
in faith, service, and communion
Let us start the change we want to see
the change that begins in me.

Live Jesus in Our Hearts.. Forever.

Faculty and staff

The faculty members of La Salle College Antipolo are good practitioners of their specific field whether it is Mathematics, Science or English etc. and even nurturing more their skills on their specific field. The teachers have the Lasallian values on which they apply when teaching the students. They do not just teach the students a particular subject, but also teach the application of the subjects. The teachers treat the students not just professionally but also as their own sons and daughters. The teachers try to help the students that have hard time learning on a particular subject. When the classes are resuming, the teachers and students have a “teacher-student” relationship but when the classes are over, the teachers mingle, talk and laugh with the students. The teachers are like friends of the students.

The faculty members of La Salle College Antipolo not just only teach the students to be successful but to make the students ready to face the game of life.

location

La Salle College Antipolo can be located at Town and Country Heights Subdivision, Brgy. San Luis, Antipolo City. It is the only La Salle school which experiences fresh air because it is proudly standing on top of a hill. :)

history of la salle antipolo

. It was founded as La Salle School by Br. Rolando Dizon FSC, a past President of De La Salle University-Manila, in 1986.

Construction on the school was begun on March 16, 1985. During this time, Kindergarten to Fourth Grade classes were temporarily held at La Salle Green Hills as construction was delayed because of the costs and logistics that were involved in building a school on a mountain.

Classes were transferred to the Antipolo campus on January 13, 1986 and were housed in two buildings. A third building was completed in the summer of 1987, with a fourth one being completed in 1989. The school's St. Benilde Multi-purpose Hall was finished in 1991, while the high school and laboratory-library buildings were completed in 1994.

In 2006, La Salle College became part of De La Salle Philippines, Inc.

The school is now called La Salle College, Antipolo City. Antipolo City is separated from La Salle College as not to relate the school only to the City of Antipolo but also to everyone. At present it caters to students from different parts of Rizal and Metro Manila.

life of saint la salle

SAINT JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE 1651-1719

Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools,
Patron of Christian Teachers

John Baptist de La Salle was born into a world very different from our own. He was the first son of wealthy parents living in France over 300 years ago. Born at Reims, John Baptist de La Salle received the tonsure at age eleven and was named Canon of the Reims Cathedral at sixteen. Though he had to assume the administration of family affairs after his parents died, he completed his theological studies and was ordained a priest on April 9, 1678.Two years later he received a doctorate in theology. Meanwhile he became tentatively involved with a group of rough and barely literate young men in order to establish schools for poor boys.

At that time a few people lived in luxury, but most of the people were extremely poor: peasants in the country, and slum dwellers in the towns. Only, a few could send their children to school; most children had little hope for the future. Moved by the plight of the poor who seemed so "far from salvation" either in this world or the next, he determined to put his own talents and advanced education at the service of the children "often left to themselves and badly brought up." To be more effective, he abandoned his family home, moved in with the teachers, renounced his position as Canon and his wealth, and so formed the community that became known as the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

His enterprise met opposition from the ecclesiastical authorities who resisted the creation of a new form of religious life, a community of consecrated laymen to conduct gratuitous schools "together and by association." The educational establishment resented his innovative methods and his insistence on gratuity for all, regardless of whether they could afford to pay. Nevertheless De La Salle and his Brothers succeeded in creating a network of quality schools throughout France that featured instruction in the vernacular, students grouped according to ability and achievement, integration of religious instruction with secular subjects, well-prepared teachers with a sense of vocation and mission, and the involvement of parents. In addition, De La Salle pioneered in programs for training lay teachers, Sunday courses for working young men, and one of the first institutions in France for the care of delinquents. Worn out by austerities and exhausting labours, he died at Saint Yon near Rouen early in 1719 on Good Friday, only weeks before his sixty-eighth birthday.

John Baptist de La Salle was a pioneer in founding training colleges for teachers, reform schools for delinquents, technical schools, and secondary schools for modern languages, arts, and sciences. His work quickly spread through France and, after his death, continued to spread across the globe. In 1900 John Baptist de La Salle was declared a Saint. In 1950, because of his life and inspirational writings, he was made Patron Saint of all those who work in the field of education. John Baptist de La Salle inspired others how to teach and care for young people, how to meet failure and frailty with compassion, how to affirm, strengthen and heal. At the present time there are De La Salle schools in 80 different countries around the globe.

de la salle brothers

The Brothers' mission in the Philippines began in 1911, when the first group of foreign Brothers arrived in Manila. At first, people thought that the Brothers were like the Spanish friars of the
conventos since they were men of God who taught the youth the basics of the Christian faith. But as people worked with the Brothers, they began to understand that the Brothers were not priests, but full-time religious educators who were inspired by the example of their founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle and have consecrated their lives for the service of youth. If the Brothers then had been involved with priestly functions, the Brothers would not be able to totally dedicate their time to the young.

This is why, to this day, the Brothers remained lay religious completely devoted to the ministry of the religious education of youth. Although the Brother does not officiate in the Sacraments, it is the life of the young people that the Brother seeks to transform.

Through the school, the Brother encourages the young Christian to develop his talents and abilities. Through the school, the Brother helps the young person acquire a zest for learning and living.

Many students realized that the time to carve one's own identity had come. It was then necessary for the foreign Brothers to train Filipino Brothers to take charge of the schools. With the growth of Filipino vocations, a formation program uniquely Filipino and Lasallian evolved. The total formation of the young brother in areas like work, personal reflection, and prayer. Studies in theology and pedagogy enables him to discern the call of God in his life. This leads him to make an initial commitment to a life of consecration, community and mission.

After his initial formation, the young Brother is sent to a community where with other Brothers, he fulfills the ministry of educating the youth.

For a number of Brothers, working in the schools is not enough. There emerged a movement to explore the so-called non-traditional apostolates. Wanting to be of direct service to the poor, the Brothers began by immersing themselves with the poorest rural / urban communities such as living with sugar workers, assisting lepers in a colony, attending to children in a street children center, and facilitating livelihood projects.

Because the Brothers have diverse apostolates, one would think that the Brothers live apart from each other. But the Brother is not like a priest. As a religious, the Brother has a vow of association in a community where he lives with his fellow Brothers. The Brother makes the community his home where they could enjoy the companionship of his Brothers.

For the Brothers, making such school communities accessible to all has been a constant concern. Whenever possible, the Brothers encourage their colleagues to initiate projects especially for the poor in their area. Although the Brothers are able to support many scholars, the Brothers realize that there are still many more places the Brothers can be of service.

For the hopes of youth are close to God's heart and for every young mind filled with dreams, God invites a young man to listen to the youth and dedicate his life to make those dreams come true. Whether teaching in an established school or volunteering in a non-traditional apostolate, the Brother works to influence the young and hopes that together they will both create a better world filled with the love of Christ and the reign of justice and peace.
