History

The Brothers of the Christian Schools, is a Catholic religious congregation dedicated to the teachings and charism of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, Patron Saint of Teachers.
The first De La Salle School in the Philippines was opened on June 16, 1911 along Nozaleda Street in Paco, Manila at the request of the Archbishop of Manila. In 1921, the school was moved to its present site on Taft Avenue. Unable to accommodate requests for admission to the elementary grades, they had to revert an earlier policy not to expand. To date, they have spread out to different provinces. The Brothers have since opened in Green Hills, Antipolo, Lipa, Bacolod, Ilagan, Dasmariñas, and Alabang. They have also undertaken supervision of some schools in Manila, Cavite, Bataan, Cebu, Bukidnon, Surigao del Sur, Negros Occidental, Masbate, Capiz, and Ozamis. Today, they are known as De La Salle Supervised Schools.
Around 1977, the idea of having another La Salle School, this time in the Laguna area was conceptualized. This was when architect Lindy Locsin, then a member of the DLSU board of Trustees, offered to donate several hectares of his family's land to La Salle. In 1997, this donation of the Locsins was realized. La Salle purchased additional contiguous hectares of land expanding De La Salle Canlubang a sprawling fifty hectare campus. The DLSU Laguna campus is ten times bigger than the original DLSU campus at Taft Avenue, Manila.
Laguna is one of the country's industrial and technological regions. Its large, industrial companies presently make it ideal for science and technological parks. De La Salle Canlubang was established in June 2003 to complement the region's role in the science and technology fields.
The Integrated school opened its doors to 240 students from preschool to grade 4 and grade 8 during its first year. The school's curriculum emphasizes a science-oriented education.
In 2012, the administrations of DLSU and DLSC approved the integration of DLSC into DLSU, becoming the De La Salle University Science and Technology Complex.
Then DLSU president Br. Narciso Erguiza Jr. said the DLSU-STC would attract a big number of top students and outstanding faculty to transform the university into a leading research center in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
In 2016, DLSU-STC opened its doors to Senior High School students. In 2018, French video game company Ubisoft opened a studio on campus. It partners with DLSU to train aspiring Filipino game developers who are part of the university's game development courses and co-develop AAA games.
