Vincentian Academy is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.
The Academy comprised three buildings housed on a 67-acre (270,000 m2) campus in McCandless Township, a north suburb of Pittsburgh. There is an approximate 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and the enrollment as of the 2015-2016 school year consists of a total of 263 students.
Vincentian Academy maintained 100 percent university placement. Vincentian was one of twelve schools in Pennsylvania that offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
At Vincentian Academy approximately 80 percent of all juniors and seniors took some IB courses. These courses included anything from IB Higher Level Biology to IB Standard Level Mathematics. Overall, 84 percent of all those students taking IB exams pass.
The school was founded by the Vincentian Sisters of Charity (now members of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth) in 1932 as Vincentian High School. It began an affiliation with Duquesne University in 1995, whereupon it adopted the International Baccalaureate curriculum; the affiliation, during which the school was known as Vincentian Academy–Duquesne University, ended in June 2010.

Instated as official Alma Mater in 2007
Early in the 1990s, Duquesne University president Dr. John E. Murray was investigating the possibility of a high school for Duquesne, disturbed by contemporary reports that American high schools were inferior to schools in Europe, Asia, and even third-world countries. Reasoning that a university-affiliated school could be a model for the region and offer an advanced curriculum and integrate the resources of a major university into its operation, Murray explored the possibility as an extension of Duquesne's Spiritan tradition of often unconventional leadership.
