About De La Salle School
De La Salle School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the West zone.
It offers 8 CCAs.
School overview
De La Salle began as a boys' school in Kampong Bahru in 1952, named after St John Baptist De La Salle to mark a century since the Brothers' arrival in Asia. Girls joined the lower-primary classes in 1996. The school became fully co-educational at its holding site in January 1997 and moved to Choa Chu Kang later that year. It became single-session in 2011 and resumed operations in its rebuilt permanent premises in 2013. Its history explains the Lasallian identity; it is not an all-boys school today.
Weekly curriculum reading moves from Primary 1 poetry and Primary 2 fairy tales to Roald Dahl in Primary 3 and Singapore literature in Primary 4. Primary 5 and 6 focus on current affairs, including subscriptions to Little Red Dot. Speaking activities include Primary 1 poetry recitation and choral reading and Primary 2 readers' theatre. Primary 4–6 book battles are distinct from selection to represent the school at KidLit Quiz. Debate and oratorical representation also depends on aptitude; the enrichment descriptions do not guarantee competition participation for every pupil.
