THE MUSEUM SCHOOL is a tuition-free, inclusive, public charter school that serves students from all over San Diego in Kindergarten through 8th grade. While learning to read, write, do mathematics and science, “learning to learn” is our capstone skill, supported by our “Community Goals” of becoming responsible citizens, productive workers, creative healthy individuals, problem solvers, and self-directed learners. The Museum School’s curriculum seeks to go beyond the basics by teaching kids how to learn and opening opportunities to understand why they are learning. Project-based departments and enriching classes such as art, music, sewing, movement, and drama are part of the regular curriculum and students participate in frequent study trips to museums and educational institutions throughout the community.
