What La Salle Catholic College Preparatory does

La Salle Catholic College Preparatory is a private, nonprofit, co-ed Catholic college-preparatory high school founded in 1966, serving approximately 660 students in grades 9–12 from the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area at its Milwaukie, Oregon campus. The school is sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers District of San Francisco New Orleans, embedding it within a global Lasallian network of 1,600+ educational institutions in 80+ countries. Its core product is a four-year college-preparatory curriculum offering AP, honors, and dual-enrollment courses that allow students to graduate with up to 40+ transferable college credits, supplemented by college counseling, athletics, fine arts, and Lasallian ministry programming. Outcomes are explicitly marketed: 100% of graduates are described as college-prepared and 99% are admitted to four-year colleges.

The school's technology stack is built on standard education SaaS: a 1:1 managed iPad program, Schoology LMS, PowerSchool SIS, Finalsite CMS and Finalsite Enrollment for admissions, SCOIR for college counseling, FACTS for tuition and financial aid processing, Nelnet for fee payments, Google Workspace for collaboration, and GiveCampus plus Mailchimp for fundraising and communications. There is no proprietary core technology; the school's differentiation rests on program design, community, and mission rather than on a custom platform. The school also operates summer programs (camps for grades 1–8 and academic courses for high schoolers), publishes the La Salle Review magazine and The Falconer student newspaper, and runs a dedicated Director of Equity and Inclusion function with formal Center for Equity and Inclusion equity-leadership certification.

La Salle's business model is tuition-led and donor-subsidized. Tuition for 2026-27 is $19,900 per student with a $500 enrollment fee and $250 graduation fee, billed via FACTS on annual, semiannual, or monthly plans. 62% of students receive need-based financial aid averaging $8,500, with $3.5M disbursed in aid for 2026-27; merit scholarships of $1,500–$3,000 are also offered. Secondary revenue streams include the Falcon Fund annual giving campaign, planned giving, named educational foundation funds, and signature events (Believe Benefit Dinner & Auction, Golf Tournament, Steak & Seafood, Yulefest & Wine Tasting). Corporate sponsorship from Precision Castparts Corp. funds the San Miguel Scholars Program, which provides near-full scholarships including tuition, supplies, transportation, and meals. Distribution is direct through the admissions office, with a priority application deadline of January 8 followed by rolling admissions; lead-generation channels include the website, social media, open houses, Falcon for a Day shadow visits, and Future Falcon Nights feeder-school events.

• Christian Brothers Academy: Lasallian Catholic college preparatory school in New Jersey sharing the same De La Salle Christian Brothers mission and tradition; comparable college-prep outcomes focus but in a different geography.
• Loyola High School Los Angeles: Large, established Jesuit college preparatory school sharing the same Catholic college-prep orientation and competing for families that consider faith-based, college-prep private high schools at the regional level.

Direct peers

• De La Salle North Catholic High School: Direct Lasallian Catholic college preparatory peer in Portland operating under the same De La Salle Christian Brothers sponsorship network; comparable mission, smaller scale, and shared access/scholarship orientation.

Others
