Dear Westinghouse Families,

We thank all for your support and patience transitioning to online learning these last few weeks. We know these are not ideal times but it is the reality of our current situation, and navigating them is incredibly challenging. Many factors are considered including the weather, staffing, and our current COVID outlook.

After careful review, the decision has been made to remain in online instruction until 1/31/2022. There will be no student lunch pick up this week.

PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS:

We know that performances and events are a large portion of why our students are here. For everyone at the school, both students and staff alike, these are our creative outlets. We rely on bringing people together to see the creativity, the artistry and the talent this school has to offer.

Please know that accommodations are being made to ensure our students get live performance opportunities. We will update you shortly after our return to school.

We thank you for your understanding. If you should have any questions please contact the front office at 412-646-1718.

Life at Westinghouse Arts Academy

Like other schools, our students take core subjects including English, math, science and social studies, belong to a variety of clubs and activities, and graduate on par with peers… ready for college and beyond.

But what’s not typical: our students will take about 30 different arts classes in their area of concentration over four years of high school, progressing to advanced and in-depth coursework as upperclassmen. Though it differs by concentration, we offer unparalleled access to opportunities to perform, display, participate, and delve deeply into art.

The result: our students are engaged and challenged by rigorous arts study while also pursuing high levels of academic achievement.
