Colegio La Salle Buenos Aires

What Colegio La Salle Buenos Aires does

Colegio La Salle Buenos Aires is a private Catholic K-12 educational institution operating in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires since 1891, governed by the Asociación Educacionista Argentina under the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle network). The school serves approximately 1,160 students across five educational levels — Initial, Primary, Special Primary, Secondary, and Special Secondary — with 350 educators. Its portfolio includes a national Bachillerato, an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, a US High School Diploma delivered via online partnership with Education Abroad Latin America and Citizens High School, and an intensive English program operating as a Cambridge Preparation Centre with Trinity College London supplementary certifications. Specialized offerings span special education (cognitive, social, and emotional support tracks), technology/robotics/programming curriculum from primary through secondary, an Espacio Maker with 3D printers, international student exchanges within the global La Salle network, and a pastoral education program rooted in Lasallian charism.

The institution is housed primarily in a neorenaissance building constructed in 1898 at Riobamba 650 / Ayacucho 665 in CABA, supplemented by a sports field complex in San Martín (Buenos Aires Province), a 900-seat theater inaugurated in 1927, a 1,200-capacity chapel, and the heritage Museo Hermano Esteban. Technology infrastructure centers on the Colegium student information system, Google Classroom for learning management, Google Workspace for institutional email, and a 25kW photovoltaic solar plant with grid interconnection. The school's core revenue model is recurring annual tuition paid under a "Contrato de Enseñanza" (Teaching Contract), with secondary income streams from extracurricular activities (sports, music, robotics, TED-Ed clubs) and online uniform sales.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families initiate enrollment through the school's website pre-inscription forms and engage with level-specific secretarial offices, supported by an active organic presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, plus community events such as the Modelo ONU Interescuelas. The primary customer segment is families in Buenos Aires seeking comprehensive K-12 private education with international orientation and values-based formation; a secondary segment comprises students aged 6–21 requiring special education services. The institution is positioned as premium-tier within the Argentine private education market, competing on the strength of its 135-year legacy, triple international credentialing, and network affiliation with 33 Lasallian schools in Argentina and the global order spanning 80+ countries.
