Rede La Salle

What Rede La Salle does

Rede La Salle is a Catholic educational network operating 44 institutions across Brazil under the governance of the Província La Salle Brasil-Chile, a province of the global Lasallian religious order founded on the educational mission of São João Batista de La Salle. The network delivers Basic Education (Early Childhood through High School) and Higher Education through Unilasalle universities in Canoas (RS), Manaus, Lucas (MT), Rio de Janeiro, and Estrela (RS), serving more than 60,000 students in 10+ Brazilian states. It also operates the Obras Assistenciais, providing free professional qualification and socio-educational services to underserved populations under a social scholarship (Bolsa Social) framework. The network monetizes primarily through recurring tuition and fees, with a multi-channel go-to-market combining physical school visits and a centralized digital enrollment portal (matriculas.lasalle.edu.br).

The technology backbone includes the ClassApp communication platform (active in 26 units, 70,000+ app store ratings) for parent-school engagement, 360-degree virtual tours for prospective families, and Google-based productivity and analytics tools. The exclusive 'We Are La Salle' bilingual program, developed in partnership with Cambridge University Press, is a differentiated curriculum offering spanning Early Childhood through High School. Pastoral services, full-day (Turno Integral) programming, and social scholarships form the broader service ecosystem.

Rede La Salle is privately held as a non-profit under the Lasallian religious order, with no external equity investors, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds. Strategic direction is set by the Provincial leadership, currently under Brother Olavo Dalvit. The organization operates under Brazilian LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018) data-protection compliance and is part of a global network present in 80 countries with 330+ years of educational tradition.
