ABOUT THE MUSEUM SCHOOL

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.

Museum School Charter - Revised April 29, 2011

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.
