LaSalle schools span all four Windsor-Essex boards — English public, English Catholic, and both French-language boards. Below is the verified breakdown, plus how to confirm catchment for any specific address.
LaSalle is, by reputation and design, one of the best family towns in the region — safe, green, amenity-rich, and well-schooled. Here’s the honest lay of the land.
School attendance boundaries depend on your exact address, and the boards review them every year. Use these official locators to confirm for any specific property — happy to help you check.
French-language schools admit eligible francophone rights-holder families region-wide and bus across Windsor-Essex, so they aren’t address-restricted.
The public high school is Sandwich Secondary School — a Greater Essex County DSB school located in LaSalle, with French Immersion, Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM), the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), and Co-op options.
The Catholic secondary is St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary (with secondary French Immersion), on the LaSalle/Amherstburg line.
French-language secondary: students attend the Windsor-based Viamonde and Providence high schools (de Lamothe-Cadillac, E.J. Lajeunesse) — French-language schools bus region-wide.
One of LaSalle’s real strengths for families is choice — the town is served by all four boards.
Public elementary: LaSalle Public School, Sandwich West P.S., and Legacy Oak Trail P.S. — all feeders to Sandwich Secondary.
Catholic: Sacred Heart Catholic Elementary (with French Immersion) and St. Anthony Catholic Elementary (English-track), feeding into St. Thomas of Villanova. St. Joseph (River Canard) serves the LaSalle edge.
French-language: École élémentaire catholique Monseigneur-Augustin-Caron (in LaSalle, French Catholic).
This is where LaSalle shines for families: the Vollmer Complex (rinks, pool, fields, camps), 40+ km of trails, waterfront and nature parks, organized minor sports, and a packed community calendar.
For families who want their kids active and outdoors, few places in the region match it.
