Prior to this expansion, Gettysburg Montessori Charter School was holding many of its classes in modular trailers. The new building provides much-needed permanent class space, along with a community gathering area, library, and additional administrative offices. A vibrant color palette is used for wayfinding throughout the building, with colors assigned to each grade level.  

Exposed ceiling trusses throughout the school’s interior inspire curiosity and dovetail with experiential curriculum.
