The value of faith based/private school’s in the Burgh
The debate between public and private schooling continues to thrive. While both options provide quality education, the value of a private school education is at the forefront for some local parents. Many private schools have a strong emphasis on instilling moral and ethical values, fostering a sense of responsibility, empathy and respect in their students. This approach aims to mold students who not only excel academically but also contribute positively to society. Susan Fariss is an educator and parent of a 15-year-old freshman who attends Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School in Oakland. “Central Catholic provides a very warm and welcoming environment, not only for students, but parents as well,” says Fariss. “We chose a private education because my husband attended Central Catholic and had an incredibly positive experience.” Fariss wanted their son to experience the same sense of brotherhood and camaraderie that they feel is part of the Central Catholic culture. The close bond is the norm at Central Catholic, shares Fariss. Another benefit the Fariss family has found at Central Catholic is that the school provides more student diversity than their home district. There are students from over 60 different school districts that attend the high school this year, and of those, approximately 35 schools sent just one student from this academic freshman class. Students have the benefit of meeting peers from a wide geographic area with diverse backgrounds.
