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.
Two swooped grass mounds create space for play and outdoor classes.
The new addition joins the existing building at an angle to create a welcoming entrance and improve the flow of student drop-off and pick-up each day.
