Young Scholars of Western PA Charter School

We've moved our kids here from private school and are very happy with our decision. The kids like it and it's much better than the city schools where we live. I think it's a nice medium between the rigidity we had in private school and the chaos that exists in our neighborhood school. The day is a bit longer but the kids don't seem to notice. The teachers have been very nice and there are lots of opportunities for kids and families to be involved.

The school is horrible, as a student, I can tell that they base all of their work off of the essays/etc that they see on the internet

What I appreciate from this school is how they focus on STEAM and is family oriented. They encourage parent/family participation. The faculty go far and beyond to help/accommodate the student. They offer extra curriculums (including Saturday morning which can be a drop off or parent involve and is free), clubs after school, and free tutoring. They also run clubs during the summer. The school is expanding in order to have adequate space for everyone. This school can use some improvements in the communication area, but staff are quick to respond. Faculty utilizes Dojo (app) and when you send a text to teachers no matter time or day, they respond rapidly. I appreciate that. Overall, I'm satisfy specially because they also offer two languages starting in kindergarten along with music and kids begin playing instruments starting 1st grade.
