Jackson Museum School, an innovative Kâ6 public charter school is scheduled to open in the Fall of 2026 â Kindergarten through second grade â adding one grade each year until full capacity.
The school will open in the former home of the Jackson YMCA, 1515 Campbell Street.
According to its website â jacksonmuseumschool.org – born from a grassroots movement of community members, parents, and local businesses, the school reflects a shared belief that ALL families deserve high quality educational options rooted in museum-based learning and equity.
Jackson Museum School envisions a dynamic learning community that leverages the unique power of the museum to ignite curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. We empower ALL students to explore the world through authentic experiences, cultivate a passion for literacy, and become engaged, responsible global citizens prepared to shape a better future.
