Pittsburgh Dilworth PreK-5 is a traditional Magnet school with an emphasis on arts integration and humanities for all subject areas. We believe that all children can learn, and education begins with a safe and healthy learning environment. Our very active parents and highly trained and dedicated staff help to make the students' achievement dreams come true through partnering and communication. It is our goal to help students understand how our world and lives are interconnected through their academic, arts, and humanities experiences. Our students are also able to learn another language in our after-school language program; languages offered include French, Spanish, and Chinese.

As a school family, we strive to make our students Promise-Ready. Pittsburgh Dilworth is a highly structured and disciplined setting for students who are most comfortable and successful in such a learning environment. PreK-5 parents and students sign a contract with the academy, ensuring that children will comply with strict regulations for conduct, attendance, homework, and appropriate dress.
