LaSalette Academy was a parochial school in Covington, Kentucky.[2] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] It is at 702 Greenup Street. The former all-girls school is now LaSalette Garden Apartments.[4]

It was established in 1856. A two-story building was constructed for it. It grew over time to 3-stories and a second building was added.[3] It served as a co-ed elementary school and had a high school for girls. It integrated in 1955. The school's last class graduated in 1977 and the school building was redeveloped as senior housing.[5]

The school appeared on a postcard sent in 1911.[6] The building is in the Licking Riverside Historic District.
