La Salle Institute (LSI) is an all-male private Catholic college preparatory school enrolling young men in grades six through twelve in North Greenbush, New York, United States. It is located within but operates independently of the Diocese of Albany. The current principal is LTC Joseph Raczkowski. Current tuition for the 2016-2017 school year is $10,290 (6), $11,420 (7), $11,450 (8), $13,350 (9–11), $13,390 (12). Enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year is 371 students.
La Salle Institute was founded in 1850 and was originally located in downtown Troy. The school was first charted by the New York State Board of Regents in 1891. In the 1960s a modern facility was constructed on Williams Road near the boundary between the city of Troy and the town of North Greenbush. The new campus opened in September 1966. A substantial renovation and expansion was completed in 2001.
Lasalle Institute has been recognized twice by the United States Department of Education as a School of Educational Excellence. La Salle Institute is recognized by the Middle States Association Commission on Secondary Schools. LaSalle Institute boasts a 100% College acceptance rate for students.
A diverse selection of honors and advanced placement classes are available, with select juniors and seniors also having the opportunity to enroll in courses at Hudson Valley Community College. In 2009, La Salle initiated a program called the "HVCC Dual Credit Program" to provide greater opportunities for students to receive dual high school and college credit for more than 20 electives, as well as courses in computer science, physics and calculus.
Except for physics, these courses are offered in addition to the electives and calculus courses already offered by La Salle. In order to accommodate the LaSalle program with HVCC, La Salle's schedule was adjusted to enable students to take courses at HVCC during either the first or last period of the school day. Almost 80% of seniors take advantage of the "HVCC Dual Credit Program".
La Salle is classified as Class AA, the highest classification in New York State, and offers thirteen sports, with a total of 25 teams, competing with schools within Section 2 athletics.
