About Our School
Where every student discovers their potential.
Founded in 1994, New York City Museum School offers a rigorous college-level education for grades 9–12, using the unparalleled resources of NYC’s museums, historic sites, and cultural institutions as living classrooms.
We believe learning extends beyond textbooks. Through partnerships with institutions like the American Museum of Natural History, The Met, and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, our students engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning that sparks curiosity and builds critical thinking skills.
