Why choose us?

At Museum Academy, we provide an engaging, museum-inspired education for prekindergarten to fifth-grade students. Our Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach focuses on the child&rsquo;s holistic development and incorporates museum studies into the curriculum. Students demonstrate their learning through student-led exhibitions, where they present artifacts as docents. Our partnerships with museums offer students hands-on experiences beyond the classroom with experts facilitating learning. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) improve students&rsquo; critical thinking skills and promote inclusive community&mdash;building dialogue through guided discussions of visual images.

WHY CHOOSE US?

<ul>
	<li>Foster deep curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity</li>
	<li>Empower students to become lifelong learners and responsible global citizens</li>
	<li>Innovative museum principles and immersive learning experiences through field study and partnerships</li>
</ul>

FUTURE READINESS 
We prepare students for a successful future by providing rigorous integrated units of study that strengthen students&rsquo; 21st-century skills of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and cultural awareness. By incorporating the principles and practices of museum studies, we provide a comprehensive education that prepares our students for a multifaceted world of lifelong learning.

*PK Tuition Note:&nbsp;Magnet schools operated by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) and Goodwin University Magnet School System (GUMSS) charge prekindergarten tuition on a sliding scale based on your family&rsquo;s income. The fee for prekindergarten is determined annually but will not exceed $2,351 per child in accordance with Connecticut law. Some schools provide a discount for multiple student enrollment. Please check with the school for specific details.
