MUSE Academy 126 Saint Felix Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

"Our daughter is thriving as a Kindergarten student at MUSE, and we feel beyond fortunate to have found such an amazing school for her. She races out the door every morning, and comes home with a smile on her face every afternoon. What makes MUSE stand out to me: 1) A combination of dynamic arts education and a rigorous academic curriculum. Our daughter is learning dance, music, and drama, in addition to Spanish (daily), literacy, and Singapore math; 2) Small class sizes with a fantastic student-teacher ratio. This helped our daughter feel comfortable at school immediately, and offers personalized learning that’s far beyond our expectations; 3) A welcoming environment for students AND parents. School administration and faculty are warm, caring, and communicative, and the school overall feels community-oriented and inclusive; we’ve enjoyed school events and loved getting to know the other parents. I can’t recommend MUSE enough, and look forward to our daughter spending her elementary years at such a special school."

"We feel so fortunate to have found Muse Academy. Small class sizes and a personalized learning plan has helped our son break out of his shell and gain confidence post pandemic. Great parent /teacher/administration communication. Muse’s full- time music, dance, drama and language instruction was beyond anything we could find at our local public or charter schools. Further they offered us a financial package that put this first-class education within reach. I highly recommend Muse Academy to anyone looking for an individualized, well rounded elementary school."

"MUSE came on my radar when I first heard of its unique arts integrated curriculum, and though I will admit it was not easy to find many online reviews from existing families, I was lucky enough to e-connect with an existing parent that was graciously helpful in providing me with extensive feedback that assured my decision to enroll my daughter this past Fall. We came looking for something different from traditional academics offered at most other private and public schools  and found that along with a wonderful community of down to earth families from diverse backgrounds and talented staff that are warmly engaging. The latter remains the reason my daughter looks forward to school each day, and witnessing how much she has thrived academically this past year within an environment that offers enrichment in arts that captivate her interest has given me much gratitude as a parent."

"We have our two daughters attending Muse Academy, in first grade and pre-K 4, and couldn’t be happier. We came from a well-regarded public school and private pre-school, and yet we were immediately blown away by the differences at Muse. The arts focus doesn’t mean a compromise on academics: our first grader has a diverse and rigorous curriculum, with Singapore math and an emphasis on weaving subjects together, using art and writing to learn science concepts, for instance. I’m surprised by how well our older daughter can already do computation, and our younger daughter’s writing skills have markedly improved. The administration is caring and moves quickly: when we wanted our first grader to do homework at after-school, the teachers easily accommodated us. Of course, the small class sizes and low teacher-to-student ratio ensure that our children get to know the other students and that teachers really get to know everyone. The arts instruction is phenomenal. They’ve only had music instruction for eight weeks now, and they’re already performing in instrument ensembles. The most important thing, of course, is that our children are happy. They come home singing songs in English and Spanish, showing off ballet steps, and telling us about how to add large numbers. We feel lucky that we’ve entrusted Muse with our daughters’ education, and we’re confident that the school will only improve as it grows."

"My scholar currently attends Muse Academy and we are overall impressed with the school thus far. The administration communicates often. My scholar's teachers are attentive, professional, kind, intelligent, and creative. The curriculum is challenging, fun and creative. The class sizes are small and thus meaningful and manageable. The school community is diverse and the students are thriving and kind little humans. As a new school, there will continue to have opportunities to improve and grow. Yet, with a thriving and ambitious parent community that communicates closely with an accommodating and open administration, then Muse Academy is ripe with potential and on the track to greatness. Shout out to Mrs. Courtney, Ms. Cicely and Mr. James."
