Excellent Marks

Museum School is Among Georgia's Best!

The Museum School has scored among the top 6% of Georgia schools in a new statewide ranking system!

The Georgia Department of Education released the 2011-2012 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores. The scores are comprised of multiple measurements and evaluation methods; this new accountability system replaces No Child Left Behind's requirement for schools to demonstrate Adequate Yearly Progress.

Each school in the state is provided a numerical score from 1-100. The Museum School's CCRPI score is 96.7! Click here for more details about CCRPI.

Congratulations to our students, staff and parents!

 
 

Exceeding Expectations: Three Reasons to Give

 

1. Corporations and foundations look for 100% board and parent participation as they consider grants to the school. Being able to demonstrate strong community support of our school helps to secure other gifts.

 

2. Donating is a responsible investment in  a solid organization and is completely tax deductible.

 

3. Our capital campaign allows you to take part in building something exceptional.

 
 

Explorers Shine!

For the third consecutive year, Museum School students earned impressive scores on the statewide CRCT.

Our fourth and fifth graders did exceptionally well, with 100% meeting or exceeding state standards in all five subject areas!

Among our third graders, 100% met or exceeded state standards in Social Studies and English/Language Arts; in addition, 98% of them met or exceeded standards in Reading, 93% met or exceeded standards in Science, and 90% met or exceeded standards in Math.

Congratulations to our Explorers!

Get to Know The Museum School

When you step inside The Museum School, you know right away that this is a different kind of public school. By partnering with museums and learning institutions, we offer students real-life experience with classroom lessons and allow them to make discoveries driven by their own curiosity. Our education model encourages exploration, inspires creativity and fosters enthusiasm for learning.

This is hands-on learning at its best. This is The Museum School of Avondale Estates.

Woodruff Foundation Grants $500,000 to Museum School!

The Museum School is the proud recipient of a half-million-dollar grant from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation!

The grant to the school’s capital campaign puts us two-thirds of the way to our $3 million goal and helps fund necessary renovations to our facility.
 
A leader in education philanthropy, the Woodruff Foundation is the largest non-profit foundation in Georgia. We are honored and thrilled to receive such a generous grant from this prestigious organization!

 

Exhibit Night: When Our Explorers Shine!

Exhibit Night is a magical time at The Museum School: You never know who or what you'll find on display. Four times a year, our students re-enact pivotal moments in history, conduct science experiments and show off their work, from hand-crafted zoos and rainforest models to sun dials, gravity rooms, a student garden and so much more! Join us for the next Exhibit Night May 16.
