Catalyst Academy Charter School
Our mission is to create a world-class K-8 school where all children are prepared for college, career, and life.
What Is Catalyst Academy?
Catalyst Academy Charter School is a college-preparatory K-8 public charter school in Pittsburgh, focused on serving families in the Hill District, Garfield, East Liberty, Larimer, Lincoln-Lemington, Homewood, and East Hills communities as well as families from across Pittsburgh and neighboring communities that are looking for a great school.
Catalyst Academy is the first new K-8 charter school in Pittsburgh in 6 years and will be located in the Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood, in the former Lemington school building.
We will open as a K-1 school in the fall of 2020, and then grow a grade each year to eventually serve kindergarten through 8th grade. As a public charter school, Catalyst Academy is a tuition-free, open-enrollment school for any student in the city of Pittsburgh, including students with special needs and English-language learners.
Our Core Values
Three important core values guide us in pursuit of our mission: Belong. Grow. Achieve.
Belong – All members of the Catalyst Academy Charter School community- scholars, families, teachers, and staff- will be embraced, respected, and supported.
Grow – Every Catalyst Academy scholar, teacher, and staff member is committed to growing every day in alignment with our mission.
