SAINT JOSEPH ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

What SAINT JOSEPH ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH does

Mary Queen of Apostles Catholic School is a nonprofit, faith-based Pre-K through Grade 8 Catholic school located in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, operated under the Diocese of Greensburg and legally organized as a Pennsylvania Charitable Trust. The school is associated with Saint Joseph Roman Catholic Church and serves families in the Alle-Kiski Valley seeking a parochial education that integrates Catholic faith formation with rigorous K-8 academics. It operates across multiple sites, including the main Elmtree Road campus, the Greenwald Site, and a Freeport Helpers location, and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

The school's product portfolio spans Preschool and Pre-K programs, full-day Kindergarten, Grades 1-8 academic instruction, STEM and Computer education (including robotics, laser engraving, and 3D printing), Athletics, Fine Arts (band, chorus, musical productions), Faith Formation, and a broad set of extracurricular clubs and competitions (PJAS, PRSEF, FLL Robotics, Forensics, Reading Competition, Spelling Bee). Underlying technology consists of standard K-8 ed-tech infrastructure — Microsoft M365, Schoology LMS, PowerSchool (MyPowerHub), Discovery Education, IXL, Renaissance Learning, Savvas Realize, Rubicon Atlas curriculum mapping, WIU eAcademy, and Clever single sign-on — with no proprietary platform or AI capabilities developed in-house.

The school's revenue model is tuition-based, processed through FACTS Tuition Management, with financial aid layered via EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) programs administered through the Diocese of Greensburg and TOPS Scholarship Service Record processing. Ancillary revenue is generated through a Spirit Wear Shopify store, planned giving, and a 'Foundation of Faith' fundraising case statement. Go-to-market is community-led: enrollment is sourced through parish networks, Catholic Schools Week open houses, school tours, and the School Community Group (SCG) referral channel, with marketing supplemented by an active social media presence and the Diocese of Greensburg's network. No revenue, enrollment, or tuition figures are publicly disclosed.

• Central Catholic High School (Pittsburgh): Long-established Catholic college-prep high school in Pittsburgh drawing from Catholic K-8 schools across the region. Relevant as an enrollment pathway for MQA students and a comparable diocesan Catholic institution.
• Nazareth Prep (Pittsburgh): Catholic high school in the Pittsburgh market. Relevant as a downstream feeder for MQA graduates and a same-regional Catholic institution with comparable tuition and EITC dynamics.
• Father Ryan High School: Catholic high school in Nashville, TN with comparable faith-based, college-preparatory mission. Useful as a regional comparator for value-proposition and tuition model benchmarking.

Direct peers
