Environmental Charter School. Middle (6–8)

The Environmental Charter School Middle (6-8) is a public, tuition-free charter school located at 5525 Columbo Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Our school offers an innovative, eco-literacy-based curriculum that aims to cultivate active, engaged, and empathetic citizens who are critical thinkers and agents of change.

At ECS, we believe in the interconnectedness of all systems in the world and emphasize the importance of making informed decisions that impact our natural, social, and built environments. Our academic program combines the rigor of traditional public schools with a hands-on, real-world learning approach that encourages students to tackle complex problems and think systemically.

Through our commitment to the 4Cs guiding principles - CATALYST, CHARACTER, COLLABORATION, and COMMITMENT - we strive to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared to take on the challenges of the future. Our goal is to foster global citizenship and empower students to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
