About the Employer

South Hills Catholic Academy (SHCA) is an independent Catholic Classical school that offers a unique educational and spiritual formation opportunity. Although independent of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, SHCA is endorsed by Bishop Zubik, and is founded on three key pillars that make it distinctive and yet complementary to the Diocesan elementary schools:
Ensuring that a Catholic education is accessible to all children in the southern region of Pittsburgh, especially those of modest means.
Preparing students for higher education through a curriculum built on the foundation of a Traditional education.
Providing a rich spiritual formation with a vibrant sacramental and devotional life at the center of the school mission.
