Museum Magnet School is a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence that goes beyond just basic learning. We take the STEM concept of using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics one step further. We want students to understand and be able to explain what they have learned. We use the "museum model" approach to learning as a dynamic support to a strong foundation of standards-based education.
Students participate in hands-on and interactive activities to explore experiment, exhibit and explain their projects. Students also integrate Music, Technology, and Physical Education into their exhibits. We have an exhibit hall and a light-filled atrium where we showcase our student-created exhibits. The projects are the foundation of our school's unique approach and focus. We support our in-school work with field trips to various museums including: Science Museum of Minnesota, Bell Museum of Natural History, Bakken Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Maplewood Nature Center, Minnesota History Center, The Works, Minnesota Center For Book Arts, Young Audiences, Visual Artists , and the Como Zoo Outreach Program.
If you are looking for a school with a small, warm environment; engaging and experienced teachers and a place that celebrates diversity, we want to welcome you and your child to Museum Magnet. We are St. Paul's hidden gem and we want you to join our community of active and engaged learners.
