At The University School, the class sizes are very small which allows students to have more 1-on-1 communication with the teachers. Everybody at school really gets to know each-other, and we all get along very well.

Friendly, encouraging atmosphere. The perfect fit for my daughter who learns best in a smaller school environment. It's Pittsburgh's best kept secret.
