I continue to be amazed at how this school challenges my children to think critically, be creative, and form real friendships in a diverse setting. All in the context of understanding that they were made by God, are loved by God, and that learning about the world is fun and helps them learn about God. PUCS uses an integrated learning approach, so that they approach math, science, writing, and reading through a topic, like "forests". Each year the elementary school writes stories about their all school unit and then parents turn it into a world premiere musical "spring production". You've got to visit this school--it's worth every penny!

I have had a child in this school since Kindergarten. I love this school! My child loves the school too. Never one day did she not want to go to school. The teachers are very high quality of teaching and nurturing the children. She has great friends at the school and they have helped and prepared her to move on to High School. We will always be PUCS supporters!! Great school

I have had at least one student at this school for 11 years. It has been great at teaching my childern to think, ask great questions and love to learn. They have all been successful at high school and beyond. The combination of great academics and character formation has prepared my kids for life.

For the last 9 years, my children have attended Pittsburgh Urban Christian School, and we've been very pleased with the educational experience.<br><br> From projects, to poems, math puzzles to musicals, the learning opportunities have been unique and fun. <br><br> You can't beat PUCS for small class sizes and a loving, nurturing environment.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
