“The Museum School is different. Our school is where innovation and a cutting-edge model are nestled against an inviting school culture and a welcoming school community. It’s a school where challenging goals are set and exceeded and kids’ dreams are developed and fostered.”

– Dr. Katherine Kelbaugh, Executive Director
