Welcome to Our School

 Ms. Brigid McClelland, Principal

“Take even more care of the education of the young people entrusted to you than if they were the children of a king.” -St. John Baptist de La Salle

As you walk through the hallways of La Salle Academy, you’ll immediately feel a deep sense of faith, care, and respect—a reflection of the more than 20 years of dedicated leadership by Teresa Diamond and Sr. Jeanne McGowan. Their lasting impact is evident throughout the West Kensington community, and I am deeply honored to carry forward their legacy.

At La Salle Academy, we are committed to nurturing hope and cultivating joy, faith, scholarship, and service—values that align with our school’s goals of being peaceful, respectful, responsible, motivated, and consistent. Through collaboration with all members of our school community, we strive to model kindness, honesty, and integrity in everything we do.

Visitors to our school witness this spirit daily. We take great pride in offering every opportunity for our students and their families to thrive and pursue their dreams—whether in high school, college, career, or beyond.

We warmly invite you to visit La Salle Academy. Come tour our campus and experience the love for Christ and the charism of the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Philadelphia in action.

Sincerely,

Brigid McClelland
