'The Brothers' College', Egyptian Arabic: مدرسة الفرير, باب اللوق, IPA: [mædˈɾæst el feˈɾeːɾ ˈbæːb elˈluːʔ]), also known as Frères Bab el-Louk, is a French school in Bab al-Louq, a neighborhood in downtown Cairo.

He was 29 years old when he realized that the educational system of his day was inadequate to meet the needs of the poor children of seventeenth century France.

To provide a Christian and human education, De La Salle founded a religious community of men, the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Fratres Scholarum Christianarum), dedicated to the instruction of youth, especially the poor.

He was canonized a saint of the Catholic Church in 1900 and declared "Universal Patron of All Teachers" by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

The feast of St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle is celebrated on 15 May by the worldwide Lasallian movement.
