f there’s one thing that parents and prospective students should
know about Bishop Canevin High School it’s that Bishop Canevin
isn’t just a school, it’s a community. Together the parents, faculty,
and administration are engaged in the important work of growing
the whole student through spiritual, intellectual, moral, and emotional
fulfillment. With a legacy steeped in rich tradition, a nurturing and
empathic atmosphere, and a dedication to fostering 21st century thinkers,
doers, and leaders, Bishop Canevin is for every student.
A visit to the innovative campus reveals the school’s dedication to
modern education with the expectation of graduating critical thinkers
and problem solvers. Walking down the halls and entering the model
classrooms, provides a glimpse into the technologically advanced
learning environment the school prides itself on. The first model
classroom debuted at the start of the 2019 school year, with a second
forthcoming, as part of an advancement initiative. The classrooms will
become the Bishop Canevin standard to ensure the school remains
competitive and adaptable to the evolution of learning.
“I really enjoy the new model classroom,” 10th grade student Mac
Johnson said. “The new Aquos Board technology gives our class a better
way to learn. Also, the ways the desks are organized really helps to make
us closer as a class and gives us the ability to work together on engaging
group activities.”
Reinforcing Bishop Canevin’s commitment to its STEM offerings, the
school will also debut The Nick Sinagra Innovation Center in 2019. The
“My son (currently a Sophomore) chose Bishop Canevin in large part
because of the STEM programs, including the fact every student receives
an iPad to ensure technology is used throughout the curriculum. There are
courses, activities and clubs in robotics and engineering among other STEM
disciplines. A wide variety of hands-on opportunities leverage 3D printing,
field trips and experts in STEM fields to enhance classroom learning.
My daughter (a 7th grader) attended STEM Camp at Bishop Canevin
this summer and was one of the first students to benefit from the new
Innovation Lab. She raved about all the things the Innovation Lab offered.
The availability of a state-of-the-art lab enhances learning for current and
future students, leaving them well prepared for whatever path they choose in
our technology-centric world.”

center will be the home of the Engineering, Robotics,
and 3D Concepts and Animation classes.
To nurture the familial bond of the school community and to
provide greater pastoral care to all students, Bishop Canevin is the only
school in the greater Pittsburgh area to establish a House System. The
House System consists of four houses each named after an influential
Jesuit. Through the various interactions and activities during the school
year, each House develops a special identity, purpose, and bond. Many
House activities occur during “Days Away,” in which students gather
together with their Houses and experience opportunities beyond the
course catalog and curriculum. Influential speakers and presenters come
to Bishop Canevin focusing on topics chosen by the students. Days
Away provide an avenue for community building and for students to be
interactive and creative in their learning in order to develop as whole
persons both in spirit and intellect.
The House System highlights diversity and celebrates the uniqueness
of the student body that is comprised of students from 18 local Catholic
schools, 7 public schools, and 10 charter schools. The student population
also reflects a global community with urban, suburban, and rural areas
represented as well as students from Brazil, Argentina, China, and
Ukraine. In 2019 Bishop Canevin was recognized by Niche as being one of
the Most Diverse Private High Schools in America. Students are constantly
widening their lens of the world and gaining the necessary insight to
respect and rejoice the dignity and diversity of the human person.
“We see our school as a second home to our student body and the
environment at Bishop Canevin reinforces that culture,” Joyce said.
Bishop Canevin welcomes parents and prospective students to
experience its innovative and familial environment this Fall. On October
4 the school is hosting Fall Fest, a family friendly event organized by
Student Government. The festival will feature a haunted house, food
trucks, hayrides, and pumpkin painting. The school is also hosting an
Open House on October 13. Families can meet teachers and staff, explore
the numerous student activities offered, and have the option to take a full
or customized tour of the school. All are welcome!
