We are passionate about providing accessible, affordable, sustainable Catholic education where students come to understand that God is present and active in their lives. In a learning environment where they see the signs of God's love around them, our children understand how they can become instruments of His grace in our world. 

The Diocese of Pittsburgh is in the process of reorganizing its grade schools by regions and is proud to be home to a variety of choices for Catholic education from pre-school through high school. Find out more about how our Pittsburgh Catholic Schools are Lighting the Way!
