The Museum Magnet School partnership is about science, research, communication and the museum process. That means using those strong academic skills of reading, writing, and math to create a school museum with exciting new exhibits made by kids, for kids. Science experiments, engineering projects, art, and technology combine with research in the library and at the museum, and a strong emphasis on language arts to give kids a chance to show what they've learned.
Custom designed field trips take students behind the scenes at the museum.
Students in all grade levels actually attend school for several daysat the museum. The school is a partner in major, grant-funded museum exhibits and projects that bring additional cash, technology, and other resources to the school. The Museum Magnet School's unique program serves academically gifted and talented students. They are supported in taking their exhibit research to a challenging level, with the opportunity to be mentored by experts in their fields of interest. For those students who need a more active, hands-on approach to learning to engage them in academic studies, the museum's exciting collections and experiences are often the spark that keeps interest in school high.
