Saint John Baptist de la Salle, born on April 30, 1651, in Reims, France, was a priest and educational reformer who founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, revolutionizing teaching for the poor. From a wealthy family, he pursued priesthood, ordained in 1678, but a chance encounter with a schoolmaster in 1679 led him to dedicate his life to free education for boys neglected by society. Establishing the De La Salle Brothers in 1680, he pioneered teacher training, classroom methods, and vernacular instruction, often at personal cost—selling his inheritance to fund schools. Despite opposition from Church and state, he persevered, dying on April 7, 1719, in Rouen, leaving a global legacy of Christian education. | Saint John Baptist de la Salle, born on April 30, 1651, in Reims, France, was a priest and educational reformer who founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, revolutionizing teaching for the poor.
