Private Schools

Great skill building opportunities but they tried to diagnose my 3 year old in November (who turned 3 in October) by Googling oppositional defiance disorder (they printed it out for us) and continue to pressure to have our child see a therapist. We contacted the AIU3 for early intervention services and they said she was immature (as she should be) and would improve with coaching and help. Ms. Sweenie and Ms. Mary never offered any other suggestions and no hope for my three year old. If you choose this program, I hope they find value in your child’s future. FYI - check out the American Montessori Society

I am a teacher with a master degree who has had the pleasure of being a part of student learning at this institution. The class size is small. This is a prep school for college. Students graduate with both a high school diploma and an associate degree from college. They then go on to colleges such as Penn State and Tuskegee University. There is a big backyard that is used weather permitting. The computer room is available for students to use. There are 23 rooms and five bathrooms available. The director/founder is dedicated to providing the students with an education that allows the students to succeed in life.

Great School.

Best kept secret in Monroeville. Administration is very dedicated and hard working....teachers are very attentive and great educators. Class size is small, so children get a lot of personal attention. Tuition is competitive and reasonable - it's worth every penny. Great launching school for higher education. Safe, zero-tolerance for bullying and nonsense. National testing is always above average. Highly recommended.

This is by far the most unprofessional daycare I've ever know. Within 2 months of my 3 year attending they lost her winter coat and had no remorse or misplaced her jackets and her teacher didn't care or help look for it her excuse was she came to work at 3 my daughter's been bullied and punched by the little boys in her class countless times and no one seemed to care they told me kids will be kids. I picked her up from daycare and could hear one of the little boys teasing her while her teacher sat there playing with her nails as if she heard nothing . The little boy continued to tease her about peeing her pants, when I did see that she did wet her pants I brought it to her teachers attention and asked why no one called me and she walked pass me and said "I told you in start at 3" although my daughter was at the daycare until 6 I continued to the office to try to get answers and once again they didn't care AT ALL . I would never recommend this daycare I witnessed kids eating breakfast with snotty noses while NOT ONE teacher cared to wipe their noses kids running around with shoe laces untied and the teacher telling the kid your mother is here now. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL I feel like the teachers do not care about the kids and the only go to get a check. NEVER AGAIN

My children go to school there..

I have been at St. Bede School for a number of years. My oldest is a graduate who went on to Oakland Catholic High School, testing into several honors and higher grade level classes right away due in large part to the attentive teachers who provided her guidance as well as outstanding academic instruction while at St. Bede. To this day, she cherishes her time at the school - the friends made and all the great memories. I currently have three younger children there, and they benefit from newer accelerated reader programs, advanced math instruction and one on one assistance in addition to enjoying the same diverse, community-minded group of parents and educators who, over the school's many years, have formed the school into the wonderful place that it is today. It is a place of tradition but also one of innovation. Kids can explore a variety of activities from after school chess instruction to musical theater camps or from hands on themed art clubs to a comic book enthusiasts club. My little one participated and placed in a national French competition - my middle child has been able to use his energy and knack for performing in everything from Beat Poetry Day to a dance to "It's Raining Tacos" - and my older boy was able to participate in CMU's "Moving 4th Into Engineering" through the science program at St. Bede. All have delivered food to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, taken walking art and history tours of the Strip and downtown Pittsburgh and spent time each month at the Frick House and Museum in the neighborhood, walking with their classmates and teachers through autumn leaves or in falling snow to the beautiful grounds right there in Pt. Breeze. I feel that they are safe, happy, and getting the best education I can provide them in my area.
