Are you looking to provide your child with the opportunity to discover new worlds, connect with other cultures, and learn a second language? If so, we have the program for you! Pittsburgh Linden K-5 is a whole school language elementary Magnet located in the neighborhood of Point Breeze. We provide a kindergarten to fifth grade program where students receive language and culture exposure in either Mandarin Chinese or German. All incoming kindergarten students will be enrolled in the Mandarin Chinese language program. Students will learn to speak, read, and write German or Chinese from our certified and bilingual foreign language teachers and experience the infusion of the two cultures and languages through daily activities, interdisciplinary activities, and celebrations including Oktoberfest and Chinese New Year. Those students in the German and Mandarin Magnet program have the opportunity to continue in the International Baccalaureate Magnet Program at Pittsburgh Obama 6-12 in 6th grade. The motto of Pittsburgh Linden K-5 is to Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe, which help students to develop self-control, character, orderliness, safety, and efficiency.
Pittsburgh Linden K-5 offers a variety of extracurricular activities to students. These activities include: Safety Patrol, Chorus K-5, Instrumental Music, School-Wide Community Service Projects, Intramurals, Team Sports (Swimming, Basketball, Track and Field), Chess Club, Book Battles, After-School Reading and Mathematics Tutoring Program for students in grades 3-5, German and Mandarin Celebrations, DARE, The Children's Program Before and After-School Program, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Artist in Residency Program, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and After-School Clubs (Art Club, Odyssey of the Minds, Girls on the Run and Strong Women Strong Girls).
