Education that Excels

Seelos Academy lives the Gospel message of Jesus Christ through a challenging educational program that is cognizant and encouraging of each child's abilities and capabilities while providing for academic achievement and personal success. The use and implementation of the Guidelines of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Standards of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania determine the curriculum.

Three & Four Year-Old Preschool

The half-day and full-day preschool programs provide a child-centered yet structured environment that encourages young children to develop their curiosity, creativity, and imagination through learning. Our goal is to offer a nurturing, faith-filled transition from home life to school as children learn about their world and grow as children of God.

Full Day Kindergarten

Students in kindergarten receive instruction in the core academic areas of language arts, math, science, social studies and religion.  All concepts are reinforced through enrichment activities such as learning centers, science experiments, creative writing, and dramatic play. Teachers use iTouch Boards as part of their regular instruction. Kindergarten students also have classes each week with specialized teachers in Spanish, computer science, library, gym, music, and art.

Morning and After-School Care is offered at our K-8 Campus for kindergarten through 8th grade students.  

Elementary
& Middle School

Blessed Francis Seelos Academy provides superior curricular instruction in the core academic areas of English, math, science, history, and religion through an interactive learning and classroom experience. In mathematics and reading, our elementary and middle school students are at least one year ahead of their counterparts in other schools. Their overall performance on standardized achievement tests ranks Seelos among the top schools nationwide, public or private. 

Teachers have the tools to turn a typical classroom into a thought-provoking environment. iTouch Boards are installed in each classroom and students have access to laptops and a computer lab. 

Using the school garden, science classes grow vegetables and study insects and plants in our ecosystem. Is Spanish classes, students learn about other cultures and are introduced to foreign languages. In fine arts, students create pottery masterpieces using a kiln.
