The paper aims to assess how De La Salle University-Dasmarinas (DLSU-D) has been managed since the pandemic began, specifically in the teaching and learning process. The term “the school runs well” is explained in The Identity Criteria for the Vitality of Lasallian Education Ministry, a document released in April 2020, which aims to provide principles that will distinctly characterize Lasallian education. To contextualize, the paper starts with a description of the situation of DLSU-D when the pandemic was still starting. Afterwards, it narrates the measures taken during the suspension of onsite or face-to-face classes. The coverage is from March 2020 to September 2020 – the months leading to the start of the new school year. Documents released during this period and results of survey questionnaires from the students, parent, faculty, and administration sector were analyzed for this purpose. The paper concludes with some reflections and recommended courses of actions based on the results of the evaluation.
