Mission Statement
The San Miguel School is an independent Catholic Lasallian Middle School for young men of families in Camden whose educational needs will be met regardless of their financial status. As a Gospel-centered school, the dignity and giftedness of each student is recognized and nurtured within a supportive community of staff and parents. Its programs provide the necessary academic, spiritual and social skills needed to be successful learners and responsible citizens.
Description
Ever since the first Lasallian schools opened in the late 1600s under the direction of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, the hallmark of a Lasallian education is to recognize that each student is unique and has something significant to contribute to society. It is the teachers' mission to help the student discover and cultivate these gifts. The educational mission of the Brothers of the Christian Schools invites us to have our eyes open before the inequalities created by our society and to be creative in our response to new needs as they arise.
