Montessori Centre Academy, Inc. is a private academic school located in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. It is situated on 20 acres, eight miles from downtown Pittsburgh, and easily accessible by main routes. The school itself is a large white farmhouse, a landmark dating back to the early 1800's, and was a land grant to a Civil War veteran. The outdoor environment provides a creative atmosphere not only for the children but for the parents involved. Rolling hills, gym equipment and animals dot the landscape providing a wholesome atmosphere.
