At Carlow, we believe experience is one of the best teachers. Observations, field placements and student teaching all help students acquire and apply knowledge in a different way, while networking with professionals in their fields. Practical experience, both on and beyond our campus, challenges future educators to react to situations impossible to simulate in the classroom.
Because of our strong reputation for preparing good teachers, and our ideal location, Carlow has an excellent history of placing students in schools for observations and student teaching. The Carlow Campus School, the Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten, and St. Agnes School are literally on campus and there is easy access available to Pittsburgh’s extensive systems of public, parochial, and private schools.
