Welcome

 WELCOME TO AVE MARIA ACADEMY
“Catholic Values, Academic Excellence.”
Serving students in 3 year preschool through eighth grade.

Ave Maria Academy is a safe, caring school community of individuals, who respect one another’s differences and honor one another’s shared values. Our Catholic, Christian identity is reflected in all we do each day. Christ is the model for our faculty, and the inspiration for our students. He is ever-present in our classrooms and hallways. God is the foundation for the confidence we strive to instill in the children entrusted to our care.

• We recognize that children possess unique abilities to excel and succeed. When their learning style is encouraged and cultivated, they become motivated learners.
• We work collaboratively with families, and invite regular communication with parents to ensure each child’s academic experience is supported, focused and positive.  
• We foster intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual growth to help all our students reach their greatest potential.
•  We provide twenty first century tools to help our students achieve the high standards of our rigorous and challenging curriculum. 
• Our teachers engage the students in creative and effective instructional strategies within a disciplined, respectful environment, so that our students become critical thinkers and thoughtful critics.
• We encourage our students to live respectful lives of meaning and purpose through “Living, Loving and Learning Jesus.”

Ave Maria Academy is fully accredited with the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh and The Middle States Accreditation organization.
