Happy Holidays!
Videotaped by the WPSD media department, the 2011 WPSD holiday commercial focuses on the message of “Giving,” and features our students and the community projects they support.
The commercial will air through the end of December on local network stations (KDKA, WPXI, WTAE and WJAC) and a variety of Greater Pittsburgh area Comcast channels.
“Congratulations to everyone involved with WPSD! The CEASD team has recommended full accreditation for our school.“ – Don Rhoten
Welcome!
The Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (WPSD) is a non-profit, tuition-free school for deaf and hard-of hearing children from birth through 12th grade. WPSD, the largest comprehensive deaf education center in Pennsylvania, provides academic and extracurricular programs to more than 300 children from 48 counties statewide.
Our Pittsburgh campus is located on 21 acres in Edgewood, a suburb east of the city. WPSD also operates The Scranton School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children (thescrantonschool.org) in Northeast Pennsylvania and the Camp Hill Outreach Office in Central Pennsylvania.
At WPSD…kids come first. Everything we do supports our goal of success for each and every student: Individualized Programs, Family Involvement, Caring Teachers, Inclusive Language/Communication Environment, High Expectations, Extracurricular Programs.
We believe that communication is at the heart of learning and social success. All forms of communication are explored with the goal of fluency in American Sign Language and both written and spoken English. The needs of the individual student determine the primary language and mode.
We invite you to explore our website and plan a visit to our campus so you can see for yourself how special WPSD is.
