Located on S. Braddock Ave. in the old Park Place Building, the ECS Primary is home to our kindergarten through second graders. Complete with a garden, outdoor learning spaces, a black top, and a playground, the Primary School is near Frick Park and supports the idea of learning through play and outdoor education.

ECS Intermediate houses students from third through fifth grades and is where our roots began when the district first opened in 2008. Nestled next to the 644 acres of Frick Park, students are often found peering under decomposing logs, taking water samples from the creek, scoping for birds by the Monongahela River, or simply hiking through the park with their peers and teachers.

ECMS houses students from sixth through eighth grades. Built in 1914 and located in the Garfield community, the Middle School has easy access to public transit and bike trails. The building sits on an almost 3-acre site and accommodates the school’s unique out-the-door learning approach. In an urban location, the property has upper and lower green spaces outside of the school to double as outdoor learning environments for the students and a space for the community. Several community spaces and parks are within walking distance. 

ECS High School

Construction of the new ECS high school is slated to occur during the 23–24 school year. With our mission rooted in the building’s design, the facility will be a one-of-a-kind, net-zero school through Passive House Design and RESET Air certifications. ECHS will fully embody the school district’s drive to create a healthy, equitable, and inclusive space for its students and community, and it will rise as a leader in the sustainable development and architecture of schools in the Pittsburgh region. During construction, our high school will be housed at St. Raphael’s school in the Morningside neighborhood until the completion of our permanent location at 6545 Hamilton Ave. The St. Raphael school is a stone’s throw from our middle school location and features large academic rooms, a gym, and plenty of green space for students to get outside. A park is located just on the edge of the campus, and students can enjoy outdoor eating spaces while being near several hiking areas.
