MCKINNEY VENTO ACT INFORMATION

Welcome to Gillingham!

Imagine a school where every student, K through 12, learns Latin or Spanish, plays a musical instrument, studies STEM, nature, and Singapore math…

Where their love of learning is nourished by great books and ideas in a beautiful, rich, community-oriented environment…

Where the focus is on the whole child, not just the tests.

Learn About Us!

Listen to this interview to learn about our powerful and meaningful education:

Gillingham offers a Relational Education that is based on the ideas of Charlotte Mason.
This way of educating is deeply rooted in two primary principles:

1. Children are persons and have a natural desire to learn and to live fully.

2. We offer students a “banquet of learning” to put them in relationship with the vast inheritance of knowledge around them—with others, ideas, and the natural world—through rich language and real experiences.

Why Choose Us?

Students don’t come to Gillingham merely to hang out with friends, learn facts, pass a test, or to prepare for college. Students come to feed their minds and their souls. Here, they love to learn and they learn to live and author a full life, rich in relationships with self, others, nature, and ideas.

Here they can find their purpose.

For the children’s sake, Gillingham Charter School cultivates a respectful learning organization based upon the belief that children are, foremost, persons.

The nourishment of relationships, habits, and ideas through a Relational Education not only prepares students for future education, but also fosters within them an avid desire for a life of learning, enabling them to author their own lives confidently and resiliently.
