Muse School CA

This review is solely based on the «Head of School,» Jeff King.
I had the distinct displeasure of encountering Mr. King in a parking lot where he decided that he was above certain common courtesies — like waiting his turn for a parking spot. Rather than follow the unwritten law of the road, Mr. King decided that even though someone else was waiting patiently for a spot that he would swoop in and claim that spot as his own.
Perhaps it was an honest mistake? A third party was kind enough to point out that he was stealing a spot from another patron who had been waiting. At that time one might have thought that an individual driving a car emblazoned with the «Muse School» logo might show some dignity, but alas that wasn’t the case. Mr. King, upon being informed, became indignant, passive aggressive, condescending, and downright rude with a couple of choice words not meant for public forum. If this is how Mr. King chooses to act unprompted in a civil situation I cannot imagine how he would act when faced with real issues.
After looking up his business and seeing he was the HEAD of an early childhood through grade 12 institution I am even more appalled. This is the type of person parents are entrusting their children with? The future of our country is going to learn these types of behaviors? I hope for the sake of all those interested in the Muse School that they take a long look at who the type of person the «leader» is.
Mr. King’s own words from the school’s website stress an institution, «committed to developing the emotional intelligence of our students. By teaching self-​efficacy — the belief in one’s ability to succeed — and by practicing effective communication skills…»
Perhaps Mr. King should practice what he preaches.

Our daughter previously attended a public middle school in Burbank. She thrived socially but not academically due to the schools’ emphasis on factory model instruction — breadth without depth. MUSE School has been a breath of fresh air. The school stresses critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and complex problem solving. Project based learning that merges core curriculum knowledge and authentic application as well as risk taking are engaging our daughter. She loves a challenge and being recognized for who she is and how she learns. As she goes into 9^th grade in MUSE High School next year, we are confident that she will continue to grow and develop as a responsible, aware and productive student and human being. Ready to take on the world.

The Muse School is a special place with dynamic educators and staff. Each child has an individualized learning program. My daughter loves the school and the teachers. The best thing is really the atmosphere. We feel that our child is safe and happy. They serve healthy fresh meals for lunch and have a chef on staff who uses vegi’s from the organic garden to feed the kids. The education is awesome. The kids are allowed to find their passion in learning and pursue it, while still upholding the education standards we want our daughter to have when she goes to high school and beyond.
I would highly recommend Muse School to any parent looking for a great education for their child.
