Mission: St. Anthony’s is an inclusive educational program for students ages 5-21 with Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs. Our unique program thrives within select Catholic schools throughout the Pittsburgh region. Currently, we have four elementary programs, three high school programs, and one post-secondary program. St. Anthony’s operates in a special resource room designed to help our students succeed with their academic curriculum, as well as provide other services like speech, occupational, and music therapy. In addition to the special resource rooms, students can attend inclusive classes with their peers.
