A Brief History
In 2011-12, La Salle Academy celebrates 163 years of service in New York City. La Salle Academy had its first beginnings in 1848, when four De La Salle Christian Brothers arrived in New York from France and established Saint Vincent’s School on Canal Street. St. Vincent’s relocated to Second Street in 1856, and in 1887 changed its name to La Salle Academy.
