As a Catholic Independent Day College (High School) dedicated to the authentic education of boys and girls from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the College provides a caring, family-oriented environment in which the College community sets and maintains standards of excellence by offering a balanced curriculum which encourages learner participation in a variety of academic, spiritual, cultural, sporting and community-related activities in preparation for the IEB Senior Certificate Examinations and responsible Christian adulthood.
De La Salle Holy Cross College is also committed to the broader community and offers its co-operation and provides its facilities for use from time to time by Parish and Diocesan organizations. The College serves the Community as an Adult Learning Centre, a satellite centre of the City Deep Adult Education Centre - EKUKHANYENI - offering courses in Basic Literacy, Primary and Secondary Level Education and supplementary courses in serving, typing, cookery and computer skills. Senior pupils also have the opportunity of serving the community by their voluntary involvement in catechetics and literacy at the Parish.
