With the integration of the arts into the curriculum and by using the wealth of resources at the Children’s Museum and the San Diego region, the school provides direct learning opportunities in an intercultural community.

The Museum School encourages children to become responsible citizens, productive workers, creative and healthy individual, problem solvers and self-directed learners. Project-based departments and enriching classes, such as art, music, sewing, kung fu, movement and media arts are integral to the regular curriculum.
