We share Don Bosco's concern for rendering the new generations professionally competent with proper technical skills, as has been done in such praiseworthy fashion for more than a hundred years in the schools of arts and trades and the workshops.
De Sales School is organised by the Salesians of Don Bosco and is recognised by the Department of Education and Science as an English Language School for the teaching of English as a foreign language.

In the first fifty years of Don Bosco's lifetime there were 10,000 members enrolled at San Francesco di Paolo alone.
Don Bosco's work spread beyond Turin and Piedmont to the rest of Italy, with a concentration on boarding schools.

Don Bosco's aim was that in an atmosphere of friendliness and joy, made possible by the spirit and practice of religion, he might give his boys a family, a school, and a profession, to prepare them for their religious, social and professional duties.
Don Bosco's system puts the person and his fully rounded education at the centre, while today we see that the greatest concern in the field of education is concentrated almost exclusively on imparting knowledge without giving much attention to the formation and the guidance of the individual.
Don Bosco's educative intuition was not the result of cold theory; it was the fruit of his creative personal contact inspired by an intense desire for the child's welfare.

If we put too much emphasis on one of Don Bosco’s pointers we are likely to ignore the others and lose track of that Salesian spiritual path and the balanced wisdom it follows.

As Don Bosco's name became famous, more priests came to help him, secular priests released by their bishops for this work.
Our charism is alive in the Church; Don Bosco's spirit is the inspiration of many and ever growing numbers of people, precisely because it has its foundation in the teaching of the Holy Spirit.
In line with Don Bosco's lifelong principle, we want to put the tiller into the hands of God's Holy Spirit and of Mary Help of Christians.
