Saints Simon and Jude School opened in September of 1958, with a faculty of four Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and one lay teacher. Our present faculty consists of twelve full time teachers. We exist for the purpose of presenting a faith based, academically superior education in a safe, nurturing environment. We are located in Scott Township at 1625 Greentree Road, just outside the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For directions using MapQuest click here.

Of course, the school owes a debt of gratitude to everyone who has supported this cause along the way; from attending fundraising concerts to purchasing 50/50 tickets to direct-giving. Thank you to all. We hope all of the children of the parish, school, and community will enjoy the new playground. More Information ...
