James N. Gamble Montessori High School (less formally known as Gamble Montessori) is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, one of two Montessori high schools.[2]

History

Increasing demand for secondary Montessori education in the city prompted the creation of this program, the second Montessori public junior high/high school in Cincinnati Public Schools, in 2005. Beginning with a 7th grade class, the school expanded by one grade level every year and now serves grades 7-12. Gamble Montessori's first class of seniors graduated in May, 2011.

The program was originally housed in the Dater Montessori Elementary School building, before moving to the Jacobs Center in the fall of 2007, when it was renamed Westside Montessori High School. In early 2010 the school’s LSDMC (Local School Decision-Making Committee) voted to change the school’s name to James N. Gamble Montessori High School, and the school board approved this name change on March 29, 2010.[3]

Gamble Montessori is currently located in Westwood at the original building. On April 30, 2012, the CPS Board of Education approved taking out a $26.8 million loan for green renovations of several schools, including $6.9 million for Gamble Montessori.[4]
