Immaculata-La Salle High School

What Immaculata-La Salle High School does

Immaculata-La Salle High School is a private, non-profit Catholic high school operating under the Archdiocese of Miami from a single 60+ year-old campus at 3601 South Miami Avenue in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. Founded circa 1960 and now employing 501-1000 staff, the school serves grades 9-12 with a curriculum built on the Salesian educational philosophy of St. John Bosco (reason, religion, and loving kindness), delivering college-preparatory academics, Catholic faith formation, and co-curricular programming.

The school's core academic product set centers on a five-track STEAM Program (Engineering, Global Business, Digital Arts, Health Science, Fitness & Sport Studies), the Applied Global Leadership Program, an AP Capstone diploma track, and an Externship Program for juniors and seniors. Underlying technology is consumer-productivity oriented and recognized by Apple as an Apple Distinguished School since 2012 via a 1:1 iPad deployment; supporting platforms include Schoology (LMS), Naviance (college/career readiness), FACTS (tuition management), Parchment (transcripts), PlusPortals (parent communication), and Onshape/Arduino for Engineering, with IXL and Khan Academy supplementing Mathematics.

The business model is tuition-based, recurring per enrolled student, supplemented by a multi-channel fundraising program (Annual Giving, planned giving, restricted gifts, corporate partnerships, stock and in-kind donations) administered by a dedicated Advancement Office. Go-to-market is direct enrollment via Open House events and entrance exams managed by an Admissions Director, with structural preference for alumni families. Reported outcomes include a 100% post-secondary continuation rate (75% four-year, 24% two-year, 1% vocational), and nationally competitive athletics across 27 teams in 18 sports.
