ADMISSIONS

Thank you for your interest in La Salle Institute and welcome to the Admissions pages. Please explore these pages to find answers about our admissions process and the unique opportunities that await you at La Salle Institute. I encourage you to take advantage of our Cadet for a Day program and spend a full school day in our building so that you can experience what it is like to be a student here at La Salle. In addition to a visit, we can schedule a tour for the entire family to explore our facilities and meet some of our great faculty, staff and students.

I am so excited you have taken your time to visit our website and I look forward to learning more about your family throughout the admissions process. I hope to hear from you soon and would be happy to answer all of your questions and concerns. Choosing your next school is one of the most important decisions of a young person’s life and I am thrilled that you have considered La Salle Institute.

Admissions FAQ

Q: HOW AND WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE A VISIT DAY?
We have visitors regularly throughout the year. Choose a day that best fits your schedule! Plan on an arrival time of 8:15 AM in the main office and pickup time at 2:15 PM in the main lobby. Contact our Admissions Office via email or phone call to set up your visit day.
Q: DO STUDENTS ENROLL INTO LA SALLE INSTITUTE IN A SPECIFIC GRADE LEVELS?
We accept students from grades 5 through 11. We add students to each grade in our middle school every year. Our largest incoming class of new students is typically the 9th grade, but we always have students enrolling in the 10th and 11th grades as well.
Q: DO I NEED TO TAKE AN ENTRANCE EXAM?
We do not offer an entrance exam. We review each application for admission individually. We believe looking at a student’s academic performance, behavior and leadership qualities over a period of time is more valuable than a single exam.
Q: DO YOU OFFER TUITION ASSISTANCE?
La Salle offers academic scholarships and need-based financial aid to those who qualify. Please call our Admissions Office to learn more about our tuition assistance opportunities.
Q: DOES LA SALLE INSTITUTE OFFER HONORS OR ADVANCED CLASSES?
La Salle offers regular level classes as well as honors, Advanced Placement and college-accredited level courses to all of our students. Because we are conveniently located next to Hudson Valley Community College, our students in the upper grades have the opportunity to take free classes in a physical college setting or online.
