"My child was literally withering in the 'no child left behind' environment at her school. She hated school, and I didn't blame her. The administrator's fears over test scores meant little to no creativity allowed in the classroom. The Museum School's project based, creative curriculum not only gives her a reason to get up in the morning, but gives her access to skills and knowledge she would never get in a traditional classroom. The teachers and administrators motivated, and therefore, so are the kids. If you or your child wants/needs a more rigid, structured environment, this school won't be for you. But for those who thrive otherwise, it's a God-send. Be prepared as a parent to be involved with your time and resources. Like all charter schools (and all public schools with the present cut backs), it takes the whole village to make things run."

"My daughter has been at charter schools all her life, including 4 years here. The Museum School was, by far, the best of the lot--and she's now at one of the charter school darlings, High Tech High. But charter schools are not for every student (or parent). Enter with your eyes open, recognize the differences from traditional schools (relative strengths AND weaknesses), and be ready to help. Enrolling in a charter, then lamenting whatever it ISN'T, really misses the point! The Museum School provides an extraordinary diversity of creative opportunities, including world music and dance, an art program that leverages resources of their nominal sponsor (San Diego Children's Museum), and digital media classes, with experienced and inspired teachers. As a charter, there is not much infrastructure for things like parent volunteer associations. Yet, there is great opportunity for parent involvement. If you understand and appreciate that difference, you should do well."
