Train the Mind.
Improve the Heart.
Nurture the Spirit.
Soli Deo Gloria Located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA, Penn Woods Classical Academy aims to train the mind, improve the heart, and nurture the spirit of our students so they may acquire wisdom, cultivate moral and civic virtue, and become lifelong disciples of Christ who seek to know the truth, do the good, and love the beautiful for the glory of God and the flourishing of human beings and human community.

Classical education meets Christian values Classical Education Drawing on timeless Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman ideas, Hillsdale's nationally praised American Classical Curriculum balances language, mathematics, science, physical education, music, and the arts. Students use primary sources from ancient scholars and our country's Founding Fathers, combined with hands-on learning experiences to cement big concepts in practical ways. Christian Values Faith is the heartbeat of Penn Woods, shaping our school's culture and teaching approach. Through Biblical literacy, prayer, and communal worship, students are encouraged to develop strong Christian character and moral integrity, preparing them to be lifelong disciples of Christ.
