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. NOW ENROLLING!!!
Give your child a public Montessori education. In response to COVID-19, we are offering the following choices: 1. 5 days in-school learning 2. 5 days virtual learning 3. 2 days in-school learning with 3 days virtual learning To schedule a tour call us at 717-334-1120 or email gettysburgmontessori@gmail.com Kindergarten Open House

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.
