Unidad Educativa Particular San José la Salle Latacunga

The school is a Catholic institution inspired by the charism of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. Its educational philosophy is rooted in five core Lasallian values: faith, fraternity, service, justice, and commitment. The school aims to form integral, ethical individuals who are prepared to contribute to a more just and harmonious society.

The school offers a continuous educational path from Inicial I and II through Preparatoria, Educación General Básica (EGB), and Bachillerato General Unificado (BGU). It also provides the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, which includes core components such as Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS). The curriculum emphasizes active learning, robotics, English, and research skills across all levels.

The school features a Department of Counseling (DECE) that provides psychosocial support, promotes student rights, and facilitates inclusion and coexistence. Additionally, the Department of Human Development focuses on fostering student integrity and personal responsibility, while the Pastoral Juvenil y Vocacional (PJV) supports emotional development and vocational discernment.

The school conducts an annual admission process for students from Inicial 1 through Bachillerato. The process typically begins in January with the submission of documentation, followed by pedagogical and psychological evaluations, interviews, and medical/dental reviews in May. New students and their families participate in a 'Convivencia Lasallista' orientation event prior to the start of the academic year.

The school operates on a morning and afternoon schedule. The academic year typically commences in the first half of September, with staff preparation and retreats occurring in late August.

The school is currently developing a new campus designed to be eco-friendly and sustainable. The institution emphasizes a modern educational environment that supports active methodological approaches, including dedicated spaces for technology and robotics.
