Our Campuses
We are fortunate to have school buildings with history. The buildings of both campuses have been functioning as schools for over a century.
In April of 2022, Gathering Waters was able to purchase its first permanent home, acquiring 98 S. Lincoln St. in Keene for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.
The Lower School building is a warm, well-loved, and Waldorf-imbued elementary school home. You can feel this in the beautifully well-worn wooden banisters, the smell of beeswax in the hallways, and the warm glow of sunlight in each colorful classroom. Many generations of Waldorf students have journeyed through the grades at the Lower School, and now we are certain that opportunity will be available for future generations of Gathering Waters students.
Grades 6–12 are housed within Keene’s former middle school campus at 31 Washington Street. Gathering Waters’ Upper School has expanded its footprint every year and now occupies most of the building in the photo.
Gathering Waters Chartered Public School has had an inspection for asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) in accordance with 40 CFR Part 763. ACBM is present in the school on the 98 S Lincoln St campus. An Inspection Report and Management Plan have been prepared for the building and are available for review at the central office and at the District Office. The ACBM is being managed safely in accordance with State and Federal standards. For more information please contact our Business Manager Fiona Laurie at fiona.laurie@gatheringwaterscharter.org
The Lower School Campus recently underwent required lead testing for all water outlets and results were above the allowed range for one bathroom outlet. For more information please see this letter to school families.
