Since its inception in 1900, DeLaSalle has been located on historic Nicollet Island in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. While the landscape around DeLaSalle has changed dramatically over the decades, the school’s proximity to the urban core of the Twin Cities has given generations of Islanders access to world class cultural, historical, recreational and entertainment opportunities. Students benefit from the countless learning opportunities that exist on the Island and the immediate neighborhood steps outside the school door.
