Get Involved

Stakeholder involvement makes for a strong school, and positions it as an anchor in the community. We invite you to explore the opportunities to become involved.

You can make a difference!

Maria Montessori used the term "erdkinder" ("children of the earth") to describe adolescents who are preparing to enter the larger, global community. Out-of-classroom Erdkinder field experiences are an essential element of the Montessori education provided to adolescent students at Gamble Montessori High School.

However, Erdkinder field experiences come at a substantial cost, most of which must be passed on to students and families. These additional costs present a significant hardship for many of our families.

Your generosity has made it possible for hundreds of Gamble Montessori High School students to attend field experiences who might not have otherwise been able to afford to participate. Thank you!

Learn more at the Gamble Montessori High School Foundation website.
