Story from XQ | Grand Rapids Public Museum School

Every day is a field trip for the students at Grand Rapids Public Museum School in Michigan. Quite literally — the school is housed in the city museum, giving students access to a wealth of physical artifacts while letting them contribute to their community.

“We design all of our curriculum around projects,” says Principal Christopher Hanks. “And the advantage of being in the museum is we can tie those projects to exhibits that are right outside our classroom doors."
