About the School

Mount La Salle College in Naka, Nigeria opened in February 1982 serving 50 students with the name “Bishop Kirstein College” in honor of a German Holy Priest, who served in the diocese of Makurdi for many years. The college was established by Rev. Father Hunter, Holy Ghost Father, to take care of the educational needs of the rural community in which it is located. In 1987, the Brothers of the Christian Schools took over the management and ownership of the school. Since then, the school has continued to provide quality and Christian education to the young especially the poor and neglected. In 1991, following the suggestions of parents, the school opened a dormitory for some students. While the school provided lodging, the parents brought food. The half-boarding system increased in popularity and the school hopes to be able to accommodate more students as full-time boarders. In an effort to curb food shortages and promote food security, students take part in farming. Each student is given a portion of land to farm, which is inspected and graded. Today, the school serves approximately 500 students.
