Salesianum School is a Catholic, all-boys college-preparatory high school located in Wilmington, Delaware. Founded in 1903 by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, it emphasizes educating the whole person through a rigorous curriculum, diverse extracurricular options, and character development grounded in service and leadership. The school's approach draws on Salesian spirituality and the Seven Hallmarks of a Salesian Gentleman—humility, gentleness, patience, compassion, tenacity, gratitude, and optimism—and centers on community, relationships, and belonging as core elements of learning. It serves families seeking faith-based secondary education in the Wilmington region and operates with a mid-sized staff. In 2024, the school announced a substantial expansion of campus facilities, including a new sports complex. In 2026, the school settled a lawsuit related to lapses in the training program for preventing child abuse, stemming from concerns raised by a former teacher and alumnus.
