History

La Salle Institute was founded in 1850 and was originally located in downtown Troy. The school was first charted by the New York State Board of Regents in 1891. [3] In the 1960s a modern facility was constructed on Williams Road near the boundary between the city of Troy and the town of North Greenbush. The new campus opened in January 1966. Grades 7 and 8 were added in 1971 and Grade 6 was added in 1991. A substantial renovation and expansion was completed in 1990, 1999 and 2001.

In September 2021, La Salle Institute became a co-educational institution after 171 years of education all-boys. As of the 2021-22 school year, La Salle Institute educated 428 students including 65 girls and 363 boys.
