Lasallian Trust

The Lasallian Trust of Singapore (LTS) is the central coordinating body for the Lasallian mission in Singapore. Formally inaugurated in August 2025, it serves as an umbrella organization to unify and guide all Lasallian institutions locally, ensuring the legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle continues to "Touch Hearts, Teach Minds, and Transform Lives."

1. Mission and Core Values

The Trust is rooted in the Catholic faith and the 300-year-old tradition of the De La Salle Brothers. Its primary goal is to provide a holistic human and Christian education, with a special focus on the poor and marginalized.

Core Values: Faith, Service, and Community.

Philosophy: Education should address the intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical development of the student.

"Together and by Association": A foundational principle emphasizing collaboration between the Brothers and lay partners (teachers, alumni, and volunteers).
