Discover La Salle University
Tradition and growth define LaSalle University - Canoas, a higher education institution that is directly linked to the history of Canoas. Located at one of the most prosperous and productive regions in Brazil, LaSalle University has a large and modern campus, which includes state-of-the-art laboratories, research facilities and the first fully-accessible physical education center in Brazil, our campus is also a preservation zone, with a vast area of preserved Atlantic Forest which is seamlessly integrated with modern and classical buildings in more than 54 thousand m² of area.
Throughout its history, La Salle University, inspired by Catholic values, has remained loyal to its mission of educating and training people in order to foster, with the promotion of consistent values, the promotion of a more egalitarian, fraternal and participatory society.
La Salle University - Canoas is part of the La Salle Network which has its origin in the educational tenets of Saint John the Baptist de La Salle, a French priest (1651-1717) who, renouncing the privileges of his status as a noble, dedicated himself to the creation of schools for children of the least favored classes. In keeping true to the LaSallian mission, our campus is truly inclusive, and offers scholarships and fellowships to at-risk students, as well as working towards the first fully accessible Campus in Brazil, and promoting extensive research at issues connected to inequality, accessibility and environment, which are understood as the core elements for social justice in our perspective. Inside our Campus we offer undergraduate, graduate and MBA courses, as well as promote collaborative projects with private, public, and non-governmental actors. As our event goes further, we will post more videos and information about our institution!
