Education
Pittsburgh offers an array of schooling options for you and your children.
Start in preschool, end with your doctorate! As the hometown of Mister Rogers, we have elementary education down. Students explore special interests at a number of magnet and charter schools and our public and private schools offer excellent instruction. Pittsburgh's trade schools make it a top choice for students and its more than 29 colleges and universities rank it among the top four cities in the country for higher education.
