About Us
Our Mission
We are deeply proud of our storied history and our long-standing traditions. To continue to deliver high quality education and experiences, both as a boys' private high school and as the oldest Lasallian school in the country, we must have a clear understanding of who we are, as a school and as individuals, including where we came from and where we are going.
Our Mission, Beliefs, and Philosophy are the reference points and reminders that identify the goals, policies, and aspirations our diverse school communities seek to achieve for our young men, men of intellect, faith, and integrity.

Our Mission
Calvert Hall College, a Lasallian Catholic college preparatory school, prepares a diverse community of young men to achieve their full potential utilizing their unique talents. Through excellent academic and extracurricular programs led by innovative and dedicated educators, our students become confident men with the ethical foundation for service, independent thinking, and responsible leadership. Inspired by the faith and zeal of St. John Baptist de LaSalle, our students develop a respect for others as part of an inclusive, lifelong Calvert Hall brotherhood as Men of Intellect, Men of Faith and Men of Integrity.
What is our philosophy?
Calvert Hall College is a Lasallian Catholic school community steeped in the educational legacy of their founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle. The Brothers of the Christian Schools established Calvert Hall to provide educational opportunities to the immigrant church of Baltimore. Today, Calvert Hall reflects its core Lasallian values in its mission and practice.
Calvert Hall provides rigorous academics that challenge students while fostering ethnic, socio-economic, and academic diversity in enrollment and programming. Faculty maintain high standards for intellectual and moral development, preparing students for modern challenges.
Following Lasallian tradition, the Christian Brothers and lay colleagues create a collaborative learning community where each member's expertise is valued. This "together and by association" approach models brotherhood that extends beyond graduation, reflecting St. John Baptist de La Salle's vision of educators as brothers to one another and their students.
As a Roman Catholic institution, Calvert Hall serves as a steward of faith for each generation. Campus ministry and service opportunities help students develop relationships with God, family, and peers while fostering appreciation for their talents and responsibility to serve others, especially those in need.
Through caring relationships rooted in Lasallian values, Calvert Hall develops the whole person—academically, spiritually, and personally—while cultivating mutual respect, ethical decision-making, and the self-discipline needed to serve the broader community.
