Salesian College is a Voluntary-Aided Roman Catholic school in Battersea, London, for boys aged 11 to 16, and based on the educational principles of St John Bosco. The educational philosophy of John Bosco can be condensed into three words: reason, religion, and kindness. The basic principle of his system was a deep understanding and love for young people and the problems they face in the world. At Salesian College we are proud of our recent achievements: |
