The Environmental Charter School is a public, tuition-free K–12 charter school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Through an innovative, eco-literacy-based curriculum, we grow active, engaged, empathetic citizens who are critical thinkers and purposeful agents of change. At its core, eco-literacy means all systems in the world (natural, social, and built) are interconnected, and the decisions we make as people in our communities and the world ripple throughout these environments.

ECS combines the academic rigor of the best public schools with a multi-disciplinary, "out-the-door" learning approach rooted in real-world problems. Through a variety of supports and the 4Cs guiding principles, the school district focuses on the development of the whole child, challenges students to be systems thinkers, and forges a path to global citizenry.
