Mission

Christian Brothers Academy is a Catholic Junior High School and college preparatory, military Senior High School whose mission is to instill Christian values and provide a demanding academic program in the Lasallian tradition. Christian Brothers Academy is committed to meeting the needs of the individual, to develop his full potential and to guide him toward a role as a contributing member of society.

The mission of Christian Brothers Academy guides a community of DeLaSalle Christian Brothers and their lay faculty colleagues, all of whom hold the education of young men from diverse backgrounds to be the foremost principle of the Lasallian tradition. The teachings of the Catholic Church, the traditions of the DeLaSalle Christian Brothers and the tenets of American citizenship form the foundation of the school’s Educational Philosophy. The Christian principles of life that most strongly influence our Philosophy include:

-The Universe was created by God and is sustained by God’s Providence;

-Humankind is a personal creation of God, composed of body and soul and placed on Earth to merit happiness through service to God and society;

-We are endowed with gifts and powers which are to be perfected;

-We are endowed with intelligence and free will and we are responsible for our conduct, having rights and obligations;

-The traditions of the Christian Brothers throughout the world are the foundation of our philosophy;

-Intellectual, spiritual, moral and social development hold the foremost place in our Lasallian schools; and

-An atmosphere must be created in which self-discipline, order and respect be seen as important objectives in the development of mature Christians.
