“Give us the child and receive a responsible adult to serve humanity”
La Salle College, Ondo is a Lasallian educational institution. Lasallian education aims at developing the whole person so that the child as a human person can attain intellectual, moral, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing, grounded on Catholic values. Lasallian education was founded by Saint John Baptist De La Salle over 300 years ago (1651-1719), a French Catholic priest who was canonised in 1900, and declared patron saint of Christian educators by Pope Pius XII in 1950. Disciples of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, popularly called De La Salle Brothers or Brothers of the Christian Schools- FSC (Fratres Scholarum Christianarum) are present in about 80 countries around the world, including Nigeria in the Catholic Dioceses of Ondo and Makurdi.

De La Salle Brothers in the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, supported by Lasallian partners, at La Salle College, Ondo, have continued with the transformative human and Christian education to benefit children from Ondo City and beyond. Through Lasallian pedagogy, De La Salle Brothers and their education partners touch the hearts of their students and stimulate the student minds in order to prepare the students for the world of work and service to the society prompted by Christ’s compassion. Therefore, Lasallian philosophy at La Salle College, Ondo says, “Give us the child and receive a responsible adult to serve humanity.” And the caption for grounding their Christian faith says, “Live Jesus in our hearts.”

I take this time to dearly welcome you to La Salle College, Ondo, a citadel of Christian and human formation where for the past 20 years (2003-2023) the environment and the curriculum is fashioned for children to receive personalised attention that can promote their Intelligent Quotient (IQ) Emotional Quotient (EQ) Social Quotient (SQ) Adversity Quotient (AQ) and Creative/Curiosity Quotient (CQ). 

St John Baptist De La Salle… Pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts… Forever!
