About Our Curriculum

The University School is a Private Academic High School licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Our students take college preparatory courses that will prepare them for academic coursework in college as well as provide the social, emotional, and organizational skills needed for successful employment.

Our faculty embraces the diverse learning styles of our students, and therefore, the curriculum is tailored to help students achieve academic and personal goals. We also believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Therefore, once per month, our students participate in service learning opportunities and volunteer with the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank and the Ronald McDonald House at Children’s Hospital Pittsburgh.
