85 Years Young: Vincentian Academy Has It All
In its 85th year, Vincentian Academy
is a shining example of what a
21st-century Catholic high school
should be. Through its International
Baccalaureate (IB) program, Vincentian
Academy thoroughly prepares students
for a college education while offering a
comprehensive high school experience
that includes service opportunities, a
successful athletic program with a
“no-cut” policy, 35 clubs, and a
top notch performing arts program
in a faith filled environment.
The globally recognized IB program is
a critical factor in Vincentian Academy
students’ acceptance into the nation’s
most competitive colleges and universities.
Vincentian Academy is the only Catholic
high school in western Pennsylvania to have
an IB program. An important component of
the IB program is the service requirement.
The IB program mandates a major service
project as it believes that
service to others is a crucial component of a
complete education.
In keeping with this 21st century mission,
several of VA’s 35 clubs are STEM related.
These include the Chain Reaction Compe-
tition, the Robotics club, the Math club and
PJAS. The success of the STEM curriculum is
evident through these competitions and the
many awards and scholarships earned by VA
students.
Rounding out the Vincentian Academy expe-
rience is its very successful athletic program.
The VA Royals have earned numerous WPIAL
and PIAA state titles, including back to back
state championships in Girls Basketball, three
PIAA Cross Countrychampionships and the
2016 PIAA state championship in baseball.
For 85 years, Vincentian Academy has provid-
ed an exceptional education. We look forward
to educating our next generation of global
leaders to also be exceptional.
