Gestalt Community Schools

Gestalt Community Schools Gestalt Community Schools (GCS) builds better communities through education.

Gestalt Community Schools is a network of K-12 public charter schools in Memphis, TN. Gestalt provides strong academic outcomes for students and leverages community assets to empower scholars to be college-ready, career-ready, and community-ready. We partner with scholars, families, staff, and community members to help revitalize neighborhoods. Instead of debating whether education impacts the com

munity or vice versa, Gestalt believes that the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true "gestalt").
