The educational program at De Sales nurtures each child’s natural curiosity. Small class sizes, individualized instruction, progressive curricula, and dedicated teachers prepare our students to assume responsible and productive roles in society.
Ours is a very personal and family-like environment where all of us take a special interest in every child. We are able to do many all-school activities in which older students work with and assist younger students, forming unique and lasting bonds. All the students know each other, and teachers and staff know all the students. It’s a great atmosphere!
