MUSEUM SCHOOL

A 70 YEAR LEGACY OF EXTRAORDINARY LEARNING

For more than seventy years Museum School has introduced over 200,000 young children to the wonders of the world around them. The program’s unique classroom surroundings foster a love for learning – from the wondrous science specimens and historical artifacts in the large teaching collections to the early-childhood master teachers who brilliantly connect children’s imaginations to nature in their own backyard, to times long ago and to the future. Young children are encouraged to discover and dream of one day becoming astronauts, engineers, historians, paleontologists, artists, inventors and so much more through their encounters with real objects and real stories.

FALL/SPRING 2020-2021 CLASSES

Museum School prides itself on its developmentally-appropriate, experiential, engaging learning environments. Everything that makes Museum School special are also the things that make it challenging, but not impossible, to modify its classes to the requirements of the current COVID-19 early-childhood environment. Much time and thought has been put into adapting this fall’s Museum School classes to their new sizes, finalizing the health and safety standards and protocols and revising many operations for the coming school year. We are excited for the possibilities to creatively focus on all of the unique learning opportunities that we can still offer during this challenging time.

Registration for the upcoming Fall/Spring 2020-2021 preschool program has been suspended for now. Registration may open again at mid-year, depending on the number of available openings. If you have any questions we invite you to send an email to museumschool@fwmsh.org.

We look forward to continuing the 70-year Museum School legacy of extraordinary learning experienced by generations of children. We know this will be a reimagined year of excellence!
