The Gettysburg Montessori Charter School (GMCS) is a FREE public/ charter school open to students from any school district in Pennsylvania. Our charter school allows Montessori education to blend with traditional elements to bridge the gap between public school and private school. Montessori emphasizes the development of the whole child: cognitive, social, and emotional, while the charter aspect requires state testing for peer monitoring and learning measurements. Children in a Montessori class learn through hands-on activities while teachers facilitate.
The Gettysburg Montessori Charter School (GMCS or school) embodies the theories of Dr. Maria Montessori by providing Gettysburg and the surrounding area with a school that promotes multifaceted learning. Students embrace independent exploration and thought, develop personal freedom, within a cadre, and discover their intrinsic value. GMCS prides itself in delivering the highest quality education by supporting a child-centered environment.
