Welcome 

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.

GMCS School Lunch Update 

The USDA has released a waiver that allows schools to serve
free meals to all students. We are happy to announce that all breakfast and lunch meals
are available at no charge to GMCS students! This waiver allows us to serve one free
breakfast and one free lunch per school day to all students.
An off-site catering company provides our lunches; therefore, all lunch orders are due by 8:45 am daily. Students that desire to have Lunch provided are to report daily to their teachers at their school arrival. If your child/children are arriving late, please notify us to add them to the lunch orders. No need to pre-order Breakfast as we have plenty available.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires Pennsylvania to ensure that the total number of students assessed in each subject using the PASA does not exceed one percent of the total number of all students in the state assessed on the statewide assessments. Each local educational agency (LEA) must complete and submit the PASA 1.0 Percent Participation Threshold Justification to BSE if it anticipates that more than 1.0 % of its students enrolled in grades 3-8 and 11 will be assessed using the PASA. A list of LEAs who anticipate exceeding the threshold will be made publicly available on the PDE website, in accordance with 34 CFR 200.6 (c)(3) regulations.  LEAs must also make the document publicly available upon request, removing any personally identifiable information. The Gettysburg Montessori Charter School anticipates exceeding the 1.0 percent threshold for PASA participation for the 2019-20 testing cycle.  The necessary justification information has been submitted to the Bureau of Special Education.  Questions on the Gettysburg Montessori Charter School participation rates should be directed to Rebeka Black.

Homelessness is not only living on the streets. If you are living in a shelter, motel or doubling us with someone  you are considered homeless. We are here to help! Please reach out to us!
