Three Rivers Village School

Three Rivers Village School is the first democratic school in Pittsburgh. It operates on the Sudbury school model of democratic education. Three Rivers Village School opened in the Fall of 2013 and accepts students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It is a tuition-based private school that offers a sliding scale tuition rate. As of 2025, it has around 35 students.

Three Rivers Village School emphasizes personal responsibility, innate thoughtfulness, and trust in the judgment of its students and strives to foster a community of equals governed by democratic values, instead of the hierarchy, standardized testing, and arbitrary rule following enforced in the traditional schooling model.
