De La Salle Brothers

The De La Salle Brothers, officially known as the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, is a Roman Catholic religious order founded in 1680 by St. John Baptist de La Salle in France. Their mission is to provide education, particularly to the poor, through a network of schools around the world. Emphasizing faith, service, and quality education, the Brothers engage in teaching at various levels, often in disadvantaged areas. Their approach integrates academic instruction with spiritual and moral development, aiming to inspire students to become responsible citizens. The order has significantly influenced modern educational practices.
