Environmental Charter School tackles real world problems 

ACHIEVE! School Choice Guide

As the world changes and becomes increasingly more complex, society will need global citizens that are equipped with skills that allow them to be flexible thinkers, creative problem solvers, and effective leaders. 

At ECS, students experience a multi-disciplinary, “out-the-door” learning approach rooted in real-world problems that build active, engaged, and empathetic citizens. Through the dedication of faculty and staff, student to teacher relationships are foundational in the classroom and connect families to ECS’s mission to educate each student to high academic standards using innovative curricula that will foster knowledge, love of, and respect for the environment and preserve it for future generations.

The exploration of diverse perspectives and the integration of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in ECS’s curriculum builds and supports systems thinking, social growth, and dexterity in analysis. ECS’s campuses are nestled in the East End of Pittsburgh and allows for a unique mix of urban environments with locations close to bus and bike routes and two campuses residing near Frick Park.

ECS is dedicated to providing a unique academic space and a place for all students to flourish and thrive while encouraging them to take a deep dive into the examination of the built, social, and natural environments.
