“This is truly the hidden gem of preschools in the North Hills.”
2026 Open House Set for Feb. 1
Registration is underway for the 2026-2027 preschool term, and we'd love for you to come see our preschool, meet our teaching team, and learn more about our morning and afternoon classes for 3- and 4-year-olds, as well as our full-day enrichment program for 4-year-olds. Our 2026 New Student Open House — set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, February 1 — is the perfect opportunity to learn all about us. If you choose Amazing Scholar Academy Preschool for your child's preschool education, your non-refundable $65 registration fee can be paid at the open house to hold your preferred timeslot for the fall. No RSVP is required. But if you have questions, call at 412-367-0381 or email us at amazingscholaracademy@gmail.com.
Please note that our 2026 Open House originally scheduled for Sunday, January 25, has been rescheduled for Sunday, February 1, in anticipation of a significant winter storm forecasted for our region. We look forward to meeting you then.
If you cannot make it on February 1, please do call us at 412-367-0381 to arrange another time to tour our preschool and meet our teachers. Until then, stay warm and safe!

New Full-Day Enrichment Program Underway for 4’s
ASAP is pleased to offer a full-day Enrichment Program for 4-year-olds to help parents with their childcare needs and provide endless opportunities for our preschoolers to learn and create in a familiar environment.
There is no change to our regular morning and afternoon classes for our 4-year-olds. However, parents can now enroll their preschooler in this new all-day program that runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The fee for the full-day program, including regular tuition, is $465 per month (for the 2026-2027 term).
Here’s how it works: Children in the 4’s morning class have their regular academic curriculum in the morning, eat lunch, then continue the afternoon in our Enrichment Program. Children bring their own lunches, and our teaching team provides students with a variety of activities to — as the title suggests — enrich their preschool education and socialization.
Space in this program is limited to 15 children. If you are interested, please speak with Kathy Duncan, director, right away by calling 412-367-0381, or by email to amazingscholaracademy@gmail.com.
WELCOME TO AMAZING SCHOLAR ACADEMY!
Our preschool program in Pittsburgh's North Suburbs creates a warm, loving and caring atmosphere in which each child is given the opportunity to experience social, physical and academic growth. Children graduate from our program with all the tools to help them succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Local school districts regularly report that our students are among the best prepared.
Our program began in 1980 as Mount Assisi Academy Preschool, a sponsored ministry of the School Sisters of St. Francis. Over nearly 40 years, we have had the honor of serving multiple generations in some families. Even the children and grandchildren of some of our earliest students have come through our program! So as the School Sisters aged and their need to repurpose the space occupied by our program intensified, we set out to find a new home to continue to serve our preschool families.
In 2018, we moved to the grounds of McKnight United Methodist Church in Ross Township and are now known as Amazing Scholar Academy Preschool. We brought along with us to our new home the same curriculum, approach and lay teaching team, as well as gratitude to the MUMC community for welcoming us. We are delighted to welcome new children and families to our quality program.
