Academics within Catholic schools in the Diocese of Greensburg
Elementary
Our curriculum is based on the formation of the Catholic faith, within an environment of academic excellence.
Our Catholic elementary schools educate the whole child, spiritually and intellectually, within a diverse, advanced and rigorous selection of course offerings and programming. Our curriculum is designed to meet and exceed the standards established under state law.
Curriculum design incorporates individual growth, team learning, hands-on activities and projects, cooperative presentations, as well as delivery of facts through lecture and guided reading.
In addition to meeting all of the Pennsylvania Department of Education requirements, our curriculum integrates Gospel values. This advanced curriculum has resulted in our students surpassing the national norms on our standardized tests.
Each year that a child is educated within the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Greensburg, their performance on these measures increases.
High School
Our curriculum within our secondary setting is also based on the formation of the Catholic faith, within an environment of academic excellence.
Our Catholic high schools educate our youth, spiritually and intellectually, within a diverse, advanced and rigorous selection of course offerings and programming.
Our curriculum is designed to meet and exceed the standards established under state law. In addition to meeting all of the Pennsylvania Department of Education requirements, our curriculum also integrates Gospel values. 
This advanced curriculum has resulted in our students surpassing the national norms on standardized tests, performing at the top level in our region, relative to SAT examination, and having 100 percent of graduates at Greensburg Central Catholic High School attending post-secondary institutions, with 97 percent of Geibel Catholic Middle-High School graduates attending post-secondary institutions.
These graduates qualified for over $6 million in scholarship money to attend such post-secondary institutions. Our course offerings are inclusive of an advanced curriculum allowing our students to be dually enrolled within local Catholic colleges/universities and our Catholic high schools.
This dual programming allows our students to enter colleges/universities at sophomore status, with a potential of 24 credits earned on a college transcript, prior to graduating from our Catholic high schools.
