The Kalmanovitz School of Education at Saint Mary's College is celebrating over 40 years of service to the community.

The Lasallian tradition established by Saint John Baptist De La Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers, provides the basis of our programs. All graduates are expected to be as committed to issues of values and concern for others as they are to academic excellence and professional competence.
