FUN AND FUNDS AT THE FALL FESTIVAL Thanks so much to Marianna Moran, Andrea, and all the rest of the volunteers who teamed up to make the Fall Festival a very fun way for our kids and families to kick off their Halloween Activities.

THANKSGIVING WEEK – NO SCHOOL – NOVEMBER 22 - 26 Please enjoy some time with your friends and family. CONSTRUCTION DELAYED UNTIL MID-DECEMBER We recently learned that the large construction project has been delayed until mid-December from it’s previous Mid-November start date. This would be an ideal start date for the school, as a bulk of the noisy digging would be while we were on winter break.
THE MUSEUM SCHOOL is a tuition-free, public charter school that serves students from all over San Diego in Kindergarten through 6th 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 media arts are part of the regular curriculum.
OUR MISSION
The Museum School celebrates, nurtures and enhances the abilities of all participants through experiential, project-based learning. Infusing the arts whenever appropriate the Museum School utilizes the wealth of resources available at local museums and within the San Diego community.
