Pittsburgh Liberty K-5 is located in the heart of Shadyside and is a school-wide Magnet program with an emphasis in Spanish. If learning a foreign language is important to you, Pittsburgh Liberty K-5 is the right place! Beginning in kindergarten and continuing through grade 5, teachers routinely use Spanish throughout the day. In addition, students receive direct instruction in the language. Students also learn about the culture of many Spanish speaking countries throughout the year. Classrooms adopt a country for a semester, learning about its geography, history, and culture. As a culminating activity, students, teachers and staff share their knowledge and expertise with each other and their families.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
