Word of God Catholic School in Swissvale, Pennsylvania was established in 1909 as St. Anselm Catholic School.  Since then, it has established a record of academic excellence for students in preschool through eighth grade in courses such as math, reading, science, English, music, art, Spanish, sign language, computers and much more.  Our mission has always been to guide children to live as Jesus did,  which includes faith awareness and service to others along with academic excellence. 

A wide variety of educational, religious and social programs are available to our students and their families.  Our extracurricular offerings include robotics club, math olympics, athletics, fine arts club, stage and musical performances and annual science and art fairs.  Word of God welcomes children of all faiths and abilities, creating a uniquely diverse and inclusive environment for all students. Ours is one of only six Catholic elementary schools in the Pittsburgh area to educate students with special needs through the St. Anthony's program.  We also provide classes and activities to students from the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, creating a unique and inclusive environment for all students.

We encourage anyone interested in learning more about the school to schedule a tour of our school by calling 412-371-8587.  We are anxious to share our community's best kept secret with you!

A few words from our graduates:

"The priests, sisters and the teachers at Word  of God School have a closer, more indivivdual, one-on-one relationship with the students.  I think that this is reason we love, respect, and care so much for each other.  We learn from them the right way to treat people".

Kelsey C., Word of God Catholic School Class of 2005

"Catholic education is not just about reading, writing and arithmetic.... it is a way of life.  It is about developing a character and attitude fostered by faith that will stick with you forever."

Kaitlin C., Word of God Catholic School - Class of 2001

"My faith today is stronger because of all that I learned at Word of God.  The school, while supplying me with the outlet I needed to do service, also provided me with hte base to grow academically and spiritually.  Had it not been for the small spark lit here, I would not be who I am today."

Tiffany B., Word of God Catholic School - Class of 1998

"The legacy of Word of God Catholic School is an exceptional education.  It becomes such a special place because it not only provides students with strengthening of the mind but also fulfillment of the soul."

Shannon B., Word of God Catholic School - Class of 1996
