We are a group of parents, educators and community members working to establish Montgomery County’s first charter school. We believe that charter schools are an opportunity for Montgomery County to lead the way in public school innovation and to broaden its already exemplary provision for students.

Mission

Global Garden Public Charter School will offer children and their families a joyful educational experience rooted in responsive relationships. Our staff will cultivate each child’s natural curiosity through a vigorous International Baccalaureate curriculum that emphasizes inquiry, discovery and authenticity. Our students will grow into active, creative participants in the life of the school and in the local and global communities.

Imagine a K-8 school of under 300 students, where regular town meetings promote a cooperative spirit and where everyone enjoys the secure relationships that address individual needs and foster high achievement…

Imagine a longer school day that allows for concentrated periods of study as well as plenty of time for outdoor play, and an extended school year that honors the needs of children, teachers and families…

Imagine an integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum designed specifically for our students which includes substantial foreign language instruction as well as a rich program of arts, physical education and technology…

Imagine a welcoming atmosphere that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of the human family, where all children participate in service projects with community partners close to home and all over the planet…
