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, watching for birds by the Monongahela River, or simply hiking through the park with their peers and teachers.

ECS Middle 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 three-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.

Our high school is currently housed at the former St. Raphael’s school in the Morningside neighborhood. The high 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.
