On the right, granddaughter Leanna today, on her last day of fifth grade.
Wow.
She's a high honor student and this fall will attend Pittsburgh Classical Academy (PCA), a magnet middle school in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. She's also in the district's gifted program.
PCA's unique approach features interdisciplinary units organized around ancient civilizations: Egyptians, Greeks and Romans in grade six, the Middle Ages and Renaissance in grade seven, and U.S. History in grade eight.
In addition to "modern" courses like communications and computers, the core classes include health, library, mathematics, science, social studies, and Spanish.
Or, as we used to call it, "school."
