Students From All Area School Districts Are Welcome!
City Charter High School opens its doors to all area students. You do not need to live in the city of Pittsburgh to attend City High. If you reside in and are registered in any area school district, you are eligible to join our unique high school experience.
Unlike traditional high schools, City Charter High School is a technology-infused high school with a college and career focus. City High offers a more personalized approach to learning with its low student/teacher ratio and “looping” of teachers and students together for all 4 years. Each student gets a FREE laptop and technology classes so they’re prepared to learn in-person or remotely.
