De La Salle Academy

Founded in 1984 by Brother Brian Carty, FSC, De La Salle Academy is a private, independent, non-sectarian middle school located in Manhattan. The school’s student body includes youngsters from all five boroughs of New York City. De La Salle is the only private, independent school in New York City for academically talented, economically less advantaged boys and girls in grades six through eight. Our admissions policy is need-blind; each year we have to raise over 90% of the school’s annual budget from sources other than tuition.

Since its inception, De La Salle has provided and continues to provide academically talented, economically less advantaged adolescents the spiritually nurturing and academically challenging environment they need to ensure bright futures. Students take with them the ideals and values taught at the academy through high school and beyond.
