What is your teaching or educational philosophy?

At Salesianum, the goal isn’t just to make students look good on paper. We give young men the whole-person education, college prep, and extracurriculars to become more tenacious and compassionate — true Salesian Gentlemen.

Visit our campus, and you’ll find excitement buzzing in our classrooms — where lessons come to life across our right-sized classes and large course catalog.

Innovative, inclusive, and intentional, our curriculum is geared to support the way young men focus and learn best. And with support from our dedicated teachers, students show up every day looking forward to being engaged and inspired.

What is your mission statement?

Salesianum’s mission is to develop the whole person based on the teachings of Saint Francis de Sales, whose spirituality can be summed up with “Live Jesus.”

Founded by his Oblates as an independent Catholic secondary school in 1903, we provide challenging college preparation and extracurriculars in a welcoming, exciting environment.

Here, academics, artists, and athletes unite under one brotherhood. Young men take ownership of their projects and schedules. And students find judgment-free teaching without distractions.

The result: young men who emerge as Salesian Gentlemen, devoted to faith, community, and service.
