rdf:langString Quaker Valley High School is a high school located in Leetsdale, Pennsylvania. The school is one of the four National Blue Ribbon Schools that comprise the Quaker Valley School District. The school teaches an average of 645 students in grades 9 through 12, and offers a college-preparatory core curriculum with elective courses. Quaker Valley High School offers three College-in-High-School courses through the University of Pittsburgh and has an active dual enrollment partnership with Community College of Allegheny College, Robert Morris University, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and Penn State Beaver. The Dual Enrollment program is facilitated by the Office of Collegiate Affairs. As a highlight of the academic program, the Personal Project/Honors Personal Project, completed during the sophomore year, fulfills a graduation requirement and provides students with the opportunity to work over several months in an area of personal interest with an adult mentor. Students pursue topics as diverse as their personalities and talents. This research experience results in a final product, a presentation to a faculty panel, and a paper reflecting on the learning process. Quaker Valley is known for its rivalry with the nearby Sewickley Academy.
