The Salesian System of Education blends the concepts of Home, School, Church and Playground

The Salesian educational mission is to educate students holistically.  We blend the concepts of Home, School, Church and Playground to provide an enriching experience. This educational model embraces the concept of creating a caring, loving, and nurturing environment where the young can learn (school), grow in faith (church), feel comfortable (home), and ultimately be happy (playground).  Salesian College Preparatory provides a welcoming and safe environment in which our students know that they belong, like a home.  Salesian has a rigorous academic program (school) that challenges students intellectually, and encourages them to learn life lessons to develop into socially responsible citizens.  We refine and cultivate critical thinking and problem solving skills in all our students. At Salesian, we accompany our students along their faith journey as they seek meaning and purpose in their lives through their experiences and in the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ (a church).  Salesian continues to promote the playground traditions of St. John Bosco by creating an environment where students can interact and interrelate in a friendly and meaningful way outside of a classroom.  Salesian is a school where your creativity is honored and positive energy abounds.  We treat each of our students in a truly loving, caring,  and respectful manner, as we are open to and accepting of our differences that builds a beautiful mosaic.
