Surrounded by six different neighborhoods, The Ellis School is in the heart of Pittsburgh’s East End. With museums, parks, restaurants, and coffee shops a short walk away from campus, there are plenty of family-friendly activities, places, and events to discover every day of the week—and they’re all just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Ellis campus!

We recommend checking out:

• Mellon Park
• The Kelly Strayhorn Theater
• Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh-East Liberty
• East End Food Co-op
• Bakery Square
• The Frick
• Frick Park
• Walnut Street and South Highland Avenue in Shadyside and Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill for great restaurants and shopping!
