School Notes
MUSE Academy is an independent school in Brooklyn. We
seek to develop the full potential of every child as lifelong
learners, expressive artists, and active citizens in his or her
community. Music, movement, and performance are central to the MUSE
educational experience andprofoundly contribute to cognitive
and social development. Our approach engages all the modes through
which children learn and communicate including verbal, analytical,
kinesthetic, spatial, social, and emotional using an inquiry-based
learning model.
At MUSE Academy, every day is an adventure in learning in which
rigorous core academic instruction is richly intertwined with
music, performance, and visual arts.Each morning, the Head of
School warmly greets MUSE students as they enter the building and
transition from family life to the new environment of structured
learning, social development, and creative expression at MUSE
Academy. Classrooms start with 15 minutes of community building and
character development, typically with interactive games, song, and
dance. Each classroom is governed by behavioral norms they have
helped to shape as active citizens.
MUSE Academy welcomes families to begin the journey of
discovery at an early age, with our pre-K 3 and pre-K 4 classes,
led by specialist teachers in early childhood education. The daily
routine of our pre-K students is infused with music and the arts,
from the first morning circle, where students gather with their
teachers, through the afternoons filled with dance, imaginative
play, and choir.Each class has a master teacher and teaching
associate to provide individual attention and support to young
learners. They are responsible for developing the essential
academic building blocks and creating rich interconnections during
specialist-led classes in musical instruments,dance, creative
movement, science discovery, and visual arts.Our teaching approach
engages the full range of senses - tactile, visual, olfactory,
movement, rhythm - so as to fully engage young minds and keep a
powerful flow of discovery and wonder.
Long ago, in ancient Greece, it was believed that arts,
sciences and languages gave human beings access to the creative
spark and insight into the forces ruling the world. Education was
seen as the highest good because it shaped the citizens, artists,
and thinkers of the future who made civilization possible.The
Greeks credited divine beings known as theMuseswith the
creation all known arts and sciences, as well as the education that
transmitted these gifts from each generation to the next.
Instruction in the full range of disciplines was seen as essential
to cultivating young people of talent and character.Since then the
range of scientific knowledge has exploded and music, letters, and
the arts have continued to evolve. But along the way, the concept
of educating the whole child with a curriculum that embraces the
arts has been often lost sight of. Until now.
