Where We Excel

History is often an indication of the strength and effectiveness of an educational institution. This is certainly true for Mount Gallitzin Academy which was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1869.
The mission of education for the Sisters of St. Joseph is evident in the thousands of children who have passed through our doors.
Mount Gallitzin Academy endeavors to excel in all academic areas.
Using the curriculum provided by the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Department of Education, our students have the opportunity to master academic skills and higher order thinking skills at all grade levels.

This is verified in standardized test scores which demonstrate continued academic growth as students move through each grade level.The majority of students score well above national norms on standardized tests.
Our integrated educational programming also provides an exceptional Fine Arts program. Each student participates in music, art and drama.
Every student is afforded the opportunity to take part in various musical stage productions. They also are given the opportunity to participate in private music lessons, band and art lessons.
It is our belief that the arts provide a dimension to the educational process that opens children’s minds for other academic endeavors. This balance helps students be attuned to the many opportunities their Catholic education provides, and makes them aware of the numerous life choices which are available to them.
