Pittsburgh Langley K-8 School

Description

Located inside the former Langley High School, this is a traditional kindergarten through 8th grade school in the Pittsburgh Public School system.

It is named in honor of Samuel Pierpont Langley (1834-1906) an astronomer, physicist, inventor of the bolometer and pioneer of aviation. He was also a professor at what is now the University Of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Langley provides a standards-based, student-centered academic education, designed to prepare students to either continue their education, or to enter today’s ever-changing global work force. The instructional program is designed around the district's comprehensive curriculum.

The building is an excellent example of Tudor Revival architecture, an early 20th century style inspired by the arches and other features popular during Europe's Medieval period. It is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places.
