All-Boys by Design

Why an all-boys education?

We’re glad you asked. 

At Salesianum, we know the challenges of being a young man today. We also know what environments are best for making young men feel accepted, energized, and appropriately challenged.

Our team has used that knowledge to create an inviting community where young men feel comfortable being themselves — so they can grow into the best versions of themselves. 

Four key benefits of an all-boys education

List of 2 items.

  • A stronger sense of values — and self

    Teenage years are crucial for exploring self-identity. Here, young men take risks and learn from mistakes, learning self-responsibility firsthand. Our team balances showing tough love and giving the benefit of the doubt, providing safe guardrails for healthy growth. 

  • A place to belong and be appreciated

    Young men open up to new challenges when they can let their guard down. With fewer distractions, our down-to-earth environment helps students find their tribe and play their part.

  • More movement, more learning

    Young men need to move. We offer action-packed lessons where students can shift, collaborate, and gain new perspectives. With a later start time and flexible schedules, they get the rest and right rhythm to stay focused.

  • Brotherhood, on their own terms

    There’s a reason our hallways are filled with energy and laughter. Young men want achievement and connection. Here, they can work together and lead each other, channeling that energy into meaningful projects — building empathy in the process.
