The Museum School is a high-performing, tuition-free, public charter school that serves students from all over San Diego in Kindergarten through 8th grade.
The Museum School offers a robust and diverse curriculum that encourages students to become independent thinkers; self-directed learners; problem solvers; creative, healthy individuals; productive workers; and responsible citizens! With a focus on active learning experiences, our students engage in their studies through projects, study trips and arts-based programming that enhances the rigorous core curriculum of Math, Science and Language Arts. We are especially proud to be able to offer this diverse curriculum at a time in education when so many of these experiences are considered extracurricular—and have been cut from traditional public schools.
In addition, since its inception in 1998, the Museum School has worked closely with museums, businesses and educational institutions to expand learning opportunities for all of our students. In doing so, our students’ educations extend well beyond the classroom, opening doors to new ideas and extensive opportunities. Utilizing museum galleries, zoo exhibits, and restaurant kitchens as temporary classrooms, our students gain an insight not available in any text book, making connections that are relevant and readily accessible.
If you visit the Museum School on a typical week, you will find kids engaged in a huge variety of activities, including:
Through all of the above, our students become well-rounded and academically challenged citizens. The school's success can be seen in multiple measures:

By working closely with individual students, the Museum School is proud of its efforts to reach each and every child's needs.
