This is a fantastic school system…read more I have three students in the system: two at Jefferson Middle and one at the High School. I am very pleased with the leadership, the facilities, the programs (especially fine-arts/music), and especially the TEACHERS. These are professional teachers. They are dedicated, they treat my kids with respect, and they set great examples. They often show up at after-hours extracurricular-events, something they are not paid to do and do not have to do, but in doing so, help the kids feel what they are doing matters and is important. My family chose Mt. Lebanon among pretty much all Pittsburgh-area communities (via corp. relo) expressly because of the research we did on schools. We have not been disappointed. In fact, my experience so far (two years in) has exceeded my expectations.

This review is limited to the Community day celebration. Each year most townships and boroughs have…read morea day or days set apart for family fun and activities. Bethel Park HS is no exception to this. Sept 9th is the Community day where you can meet local vendors in the area, watch a parade, and even enjoy a car cruise! Held on the high school campus I had the brief opportunity to go inside while using the rest room. Once you enter the main building you can see the cafeteria on the lower level by looking over the foyer and also see the outside beauty. The school office is located directly to the left when you come in. Everything here is state of the art. People are there to guide you with traffic patterns as well as parking. Some of the vendors I visited were ones I had previously reviewed including my own gym Healthtrax. Nearby was "Give mia cookie" located at the junction of Rt 88 and South Park Road. Boy scouts, chiropractors, churches, as well as high school vendors are there selling or promoting their own interests. I even got a glimpse of their high school band after the parade since they were marching through the vendor areas. Pasta too, which is on my bucket list, also had there own stand and many others places were you can grab a quick bite. I was told that the car cruise was running all day so part of the school entrance is blocked off but they will guide you around. Please note that there is major construction on Bethel Church Rd where it intersects Fort Couch. If you are heading from South Hills Village please consider an alternate route. It's truly wonderful to get out when the day is nice to see what the community has to offer and take part in the activities. Great family fun for all!

I am really not much of a church-goer, as I am an agnostic, but my wife attends this church, and…read moresometimes I accompany her to events and the occasional service. The people here are very friendly, and welcoming, and the church is very comfortable, as I am able to come in casual clothes, and I never feel judged (I am not much of a dress-up kind of person, however some people here do dress to the nines, and some come in jeans and sneakers). Overall, a very nice place, Cheers!

After that experience, we attempted to locate a pre-school and Zion was one of the few available programs at the time. We did not know what to expect as we had never utilized a parochial-based education. At Zion, my children found friends, great teachers, and an amazing and welcoming. community. There was ZERO pressure to attend that particular church. My children received a robust preschool education in math, English language fundamental skills, and classes in Spanish. Almost one year after both of my children graduated from Zion, we ran into my son's teacher at a restaurant. She remembered him, asked about a variety of his interests, and followed up with a conversation talking about how much he had grown in the previous 12 months. This is a gem of a preschool and deserves a ton of credit for the strong educational foundation they provide the children attending there.
