A. Concern for the Poor and Social Justice

The Lasallian school calls its members to an awareness of the poor and victims of injustice and responds to their needs through programs of community service, advocacy, and justice education.

At OAKLANDS, this core principle is reflected each day through the Lasallian vision of Gospel living: “

Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve.” 

 

Inclusive CommunityThe Lasallian school is a united community where diversity is respected, where no one is left out, and where everyone finds a place. Individuals within DEL this core principle is reflected each day through the Lasallian morning Assemlby and Reflection.

Respect for All PersonsThe Lasallian school engages in a concerted effort to respect the dignity of all persons. Respect-filled relationships are at the heart of Lasallian education and are a key expression of the acknowledgement of each other’s identity as children of God. At DEL , this core principle is reflected each day through this Lasallian mantra: “Live Jesus in our hearts...Forever." 

Faith in the Presence of GodThe Lasallian school nurtures belief in the living presence of God in our world. Faith in the presence of God calls all students into a deeper awareness of their saving relationship with a caring and loving God and to see the world through the “eyes of faith”. At OAKLANDS this core principle is reflected each day through this Lasallian expression of faith: “Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.”
