Pittsburgh Concord K-5 is a neighborhood school located in Pittsburgh's Carrick community. Pittsburgh Concord K-5 is student-focused, well managed, and innovative. A professional, dedicated and caring staff, an active group of involved parents, and students who are inquisitive and have a hunger for knowledge generously support Pittsburgh Concord. All of these stakeholders combine to sustain a rich academic environment. We will hold ourselves accountable for preparing all children to achieve academic excellence and strength of character, so that they have the opportunity to succeed in all aspects of life. The Pittsburgh Concord motto is: "Watch our Comets Soar." Our instructional focus is: "All Pittsburgh Concord students, through a coordinated whole-school effort, will show measurable growth in Reading Comprehension across all subjects and genres as demonstrated by data from Classroom Diagnostic Test (CDT), DIBELS, and PSSA."
To complement its strong academic programs, Pittsburgh Concord K-5 offers a full range of intramural sports that reflect the diversity of the students' backgrounds and interests, including track and field, boys and girls basketball, and swimming. Current community partnerships include the Civic Light Opera, in which students use the arts to enhance academic achievement. Also, members of Oasis Intergenerational tutor students weekly in grades K-3. Pittsburgh Concord is a member of the Student District University Collaborative and has several student teachers from various local universities. Pittsburgh Concord students have been the recipients of the Martin Luther King Jr. Citizen's Bank writing contest since its inception, and a fifth grade student has received the Carson Scholarship award for the past three years.
