At Oakland Catholic, every valedictorian, every team captain, every project leader, is a young woman.

Rather than reserve leadership positions for a select group, we bring out the leader in each of our young women. We push students to develop the competence, confidence and skills required to become strong, globally-minded, and compassionate leaders.

Oakland Catholic High School offers a rigorous academic program.

Our curriculum incorporates critical thinking skills across the humanities, arts, and sciences via three levels of courses -- college-preparatory, college-equivalency and advanced placement.

The 3 pillars of Spirituality, Scholarship, and Service undergird our students' entire educational experience.

A sense of inclusiveness and compassion permeates the school culture with these three pillars interwoven into each lesson learned inside and outside the classroom.

At OC, we go beyond global awareness and develop global competence in all our students.

Cross-curricular educational experiences that meaningfully engage students in the broader community are enhanced by guest speakers, nearby university resources, and our Global Competence Initiative certificate program. Students come together at OC to share perspectives, increase awareness, and develop friendships.

Oakland Catholic encourages students to join one of 16 different athletic teams.

Participating in sports not only provides a way to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, but also provides benefits to the individual's emotional well-being by building self-esteem, confidence, and closer connections with classmates and the school community. OC serves up an impressive variety of sports that balance competition, skill-building, and teamwork.

At Oakland Catholic High School, creative expression complements academic rigor.

Through visual arts or musical performance, students actively engage in the process of critical thinking, personal interaction, and confidence-building activities while honing their creative skills and abilities.

Located in the cultural, educational, technological, and medical hub of the city, Oakland Catholic is proud to call the dynamic urban landscape of the Oakland neighborhood its home.

Students are within walking distance of attending lectures on Carnegie Mellon University's campus, studying with classmates at the main branch of the Carnegie Library, or attending a chemistry lab on the University of Pittsburgh's campus.

Oakland Catholic provides students with numerous opportunities to support and broaden their educational experience, as well as their individual interests and goals.

With over 40 clubs, activities, and programs, in addition to the various athletic teams, there is truly something for everyone!
