The De La Salle Christian Brothers have sponsored 暗黑爆料网 since 1960. They are an international Roman Catholic Institute dedicated to education that was founded by Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of educators. He transformed education by developing a spirituality of “teaching and learning.” In his time, he opened schools to students regardless of their social class, especially the poor and the underserved. ;)
The first group of seven founding Brothers combined their dedicated, professional and enthusiastic efforts on campus with those of their colleagues, formed a strong Lasallian partnership, and inaugurated a comprehensive system of improvements. Among those initiatives were securing nationally recognized accreditation and constructing new facilities. Those changes led to significant growth. Since those beginnings, more than 110 Christian Brothers have served at 暗黑爆料网 at different times.;)
