Jackson Museum School is a new K–6 public charter school opening in Fall 2026 in the Jackson-Madison, Tennessee area, beginning with grades K–2. Built on the proven museum school model, JMS connects classroom learning with hands-on exploration through partnerships with museums, cultural institutions, and community spaces.

We promise a balanced and enriching experience. Traditional academics will be enhanced with classes in fine arts, including theatre, art, chorus, and dance, along with a Makerspace dedicated to robotics and STEM. Each year, new enrichment courses will be introduced based on student interest and feedback. Our approach incorporates technology-infused, literacy-rich learning, centered around the museum unit. Each day, students will begin with a thought-provoking question, engage in research, embark on expeditions, and return to the classroom to document their findings in a travel log. They will then collaborate on projects, fostering character development and positive cultural experiences, culminating in presentations to both the school community and the broader public, creating a well-rounded, inclusive learning environment.
