Looking Ahead

Museum School Enrollment Runs Feb. 1-15

With the current school year halfway through, The Museum School is making plans for another great year!

Enrollment for the 2012-2013 academic year runs Feb.1-15. The school is accepting applications from students who live within the attendance district and will be in kindergarten through fifth grade next school year. Download an application now!

The Museum School invites potential students and their families to learn more about the school. Public information meetings will be held at three DeKalb County library branches this month. Or, attend one of three open houses at The Museum School. View a complete list of information meetings and open houses.

Our need for funding is now. Though The Museum School is a public charter school that receives state funds, those funds do not cover facility costs. We must raise more than $2.5 million dollars to pay for the renovation of our permanent facility. Whether or not you have school-age children, you can make a critical difference in supporting a fantastic school with a growing reputation for excellence and innovation. Please help us reach this critical goal. To donate, click here or mail a check to the Avondale Education Association at 3191 Covington Highway, Avondale Estates, GA 30002.

Our Goals

  • 100% board participation
  • 100% parent participation
  • A foundation of funds for our permanent facility

 
 


The Natural World Under Review

Museum School first graders visited the Atlanta Botanical Garden this fall as part of their study unit on plants and tropical environments.

Our Smart Kids Rock!

Congratulations to Museum School third graders, who scored exceptionally well on the 2011 CRCT, administered statewide to students in grades 3 and higher. 100% of our 3rd grade students met or exceeded standards in the areas of Science, Reading and English/Language Arts. In a statewide ranking of more than 1,200 elementary schools in Georgia, our students rank #1 in Science, #15 in Social Studies, #23 in Reading, #37 in English/Language Arts, and #41 in Math.

Music in the Air

All 20 Museum School fourth graders have joined the school's optional strings class and have spent the past few months learning introductory skills on the violin!

Next Exhibit Night: March 8

Exhibit Night is a magical time at The Museum School: You never know who or what you'll find on display. At December's Into the Wild exhibit, our Explorers treated visitors to hand-crafted zoos, a gravity room, student-led experiments, rainforest models and clay depictions of animal life cycles. Mark your calendars for March 8 - our next Exhibit Night - and plan to join us for another exciting evening.
