According to Wikipedia... Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle or John Baptist de La Salle (born 30 April 1651 in Reims, France; died 7 April 1719 in Saint-Yon, Rouen) was a priest, educational reformer, and founder of Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. He is a saint of the Roman Catholic church, and the patron saint of teachers.
He dedicated much of his life for the education of poor children of France, and in doing so, started many lasting educational practices in France. Many other people today follow in the path of education created by Saint John Baptiste de La Salle.
