Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools
This college was founded in 1956 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and is managed by the Institute as a state-funded institution. The college is based on the principles of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, a pioneer in modern education who founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Commonly known as the De La Salle Brothers in Britain, Ireland, Australasia and Asia, they are known in the United States and Canada as the Christian Brothers. They are sometimes confused with a similar congregation founded in Ireland by Edmund Ignatius Rice commonly known as the Irish Christian Brothers.
