Schools
The Shadyside school district consists mainly of The Liberty School, a public school; and private schools, Winchester Thurston School, The Ellis School, and Shadyside Academy. The Liberty School is located in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and consists of grades pre-kindergarten to fifth. The school’s colors are navy and white, and its mascot is the soaring eagle. It was built in 1872, and in 1911, the industrial arts portion of the school was built. From 1911 to 1934, the first and older buildings instilled primary instruction- such as the core subjects of learning- while the newer building offered woodworking, home economics, and other courses. In 1934, the eldest building was completely torn down to renovate the school further. Therefore, the newest building was attached to the 1911 building, consisting of both classrooms and an auditorium. Later, in the 1990s, playgrounds were constructed on both sides of the buildings providing more recreation for the students.
