Prestigious Partnership with Cooper Union

Check out the article posted by Cooper Union!

La Salle Academy has established a one-of-a-kind partnership with the prestigious Cooper Union, located just steps away. Every spring and fall, many La Salle students participate in an exciting Lab Series at Cooper Union. For example, a Motorsports Lab Series, taught by a team of Cooper Union undergraduates, showed La Salle students how to design and build race cars. Qualified La Salle sophomores and juniors are invited to attend this prestigious six-week summer program at no charge. La Salle’s partnership with Cooper Union gives students the opportunity to experience hands-on engineering design and development, biomedical and genetic engineering, and more. Students participate in the college’s elite Saturday Program, which focuses on drawing, painting, graphic design, sculpture and architecture. This is one of the many strategic partnerships La Salle Academy has established in the last few years.

La Salle Hosts its First Middle School Tournament!

This year, La Salle Academy hosted its 1st Christmas Tournament for Middle School Teams over the Holiday break. Among the participating teams were St. Charles Borromeo, Tompkins Square Middle School, Simon Baruch, and P.S. 57. After some close games and a strong fight by all, Simon Baruch came out as champions, leaving St. Charles Borromeo in second place, only five points behind. The tournament was a great success and a great opportunity to engage the local middle schools on a high school court! We can’t wait to see who comes out next Christmas!
