St. Pius X School Home

Pius offers a college preparatory, liberal arts curriculum that develops fully prepared graduates to enter the most selective colleges and universities. Even more important, they leave full of excitement, self-knowledge, and a passion to continue learning. The curriculum is vertically aligned to ensure that every student completes, at a considerable level of proficiency, a coherent and demanding sequence of college preparatory academic. Curriculum and instruction prepare students to be critical thinkers, providing them with knowledge, understanding, and skills to become socially responsible citizens and imaginative Catholic leaders in their future, chosen professions.

Students are offered an exceptionally complete range of visual arts, vocal, orchestral and theater classes. Vocal and instrumental instruction is available from two full-time instructors that are available to teach piano, guitar, strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass instruments. A theatrical production is staged each semester, training students in all aspects of production. Students are encouraged to tap into their creative and expressive capabilities to produce finished pieces of art, from photography to paintings. The department also sponsors multiple clubs that encourage collaborative exchange.

Pius has an educational mission that goes beyond the academic. Our goal is the integrated spiritual, intellectual, social, and affective growth of its students. Many elements in that goal are best developed outside the classroom. For that reason, our extracurricular programs are as strong as its academic program and help to develop a sense of community within the school. Pius has over 30 clubs tailored to the interests of our student body. If we don't already have and organization, start your own! Recent additions include a Medical Doctor to Be Club and Music Honors Society. Clubs provide opportunities to discover passions, develop strengths, apply academic knowledge in a practical way, develop self-knowledge, and learn to make the choices necessary to manage a busy schedule independently. All activities have faculty advisors, but in most, students take the lead.

St. Pius X's counseling office offers support, guidance, and advice appropriate for students based on their own individual talents, abilities and passions. SPX's goal is to assist students in discovering colleges that are strong academic and social matches. Students and parents have access to full-time, highly trained, and experienced college counselors as well as a complete range of informational resources, including opportunities to meet admissions representatives from colleges across the country and the world.
