Student Life

Blessed Francis Seelos Academy offers a wide range of activities to help educate the whole child. We know that learning occurs outside of the classroom and the regular school day, so we offer programs in athletics, fine arts, and service that spark the interests of our students.

Athletics

Seelos Academy is known throughout the Pittsburgh Diocese for excellence in athletics.  Our goal is for our athletes to be champions on and off the playing field. All of our athletic teams participate in the SportsLeader Program, a Catholic virtue-based formation program for coaches and athletes to help form young leaders and teach character.

Extracurricular

The Seelos Academy Learning Enrichment Fund supplements our STREAM curriculum, by sponsoring in and after-school programs such as Mobile FabLab and EcoExplorers.

Additionally, students at every age can explore their interests through our broad array of extracurricular activities including:

Spiritual Life

Seelos Academy encourages our students to learn and grow in their faith, while also living out their religious classroom instruction. At weekly Mass, students of all ages are lectors, cantors, choir leaders, instrumentalists, and altar servers. Third graders help our kindergarten students at Mass as their “Mass Buddy”. In middle school, our students learn to lead prayer services and help younger students with special activities such as Field Day and Santa Shop. Students have regular opportunities for the Sacrament of Confession and prepare for sacraments as part of the Religion core curriculum.

Service is a central part of the Seelos experience. Required service hours are completed in the classroom and also out in the community through our Good Samaritan program. In addition, our students and teachers have initiated a number of service projects that have become a Seelos tradition, including a Halloween Costume Collection, Sock-Toe-Ber and the Musical cast performing at a local nursing home. 

The foundation of service that we foster is evident with service awards that our young alumni have received, including Carson Scholar Awards and St. Lucy’s Auxiliary to the Blind Junior Medallion Candidates.
