History

• The Philippines was among the last countries in Southeast Asia in which the De La Salle Christian Brothers established themselves, a century after their schools in British and French colonial territories.菲律宾是德拉萨修士会在东南亚最后落脚的国家之一，比其在英法殖民地的学校晚了约一个世纪。

• The American authorities who had taken control of the islands asked the Brothers to educate the children of the Filipino elite and to Americanise future leaders through Catholic Lasallian schooling.接管群岛的美国当局要求修士会教育菲律宾精英阶层的子女，并通过天主教德拉萨教育使未来的领袖美国化。

• That demand ran against the original charism of St John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of Christian educators, whose vocation included free schooling for the poor.这一要求与基督教教育主保圣人圣若翰·喇沙的初衷相悖——他的使命包括为穷人提供免费教育。
