MUSE Global School - Santa Monica

This week, we celebrate more than commencement— we celebrate growth, curiosity, courage, and the unique journey of every student who grew within MUSE.

At MUSE Global School, commencement is a reflection of what’s possible when learning is rooted in creativity, compassion, purpose, and connection to the world around us.

To our students:
Keep asking questions.
Keep leading with kindness.
Keep creating the future you wish to see.

The world needs your voice, your ideas, and your heart. We cannot wait to see where your journey takes you next. 🌎✨

Josie’s culmination celebrated her love for Farmers Markets and the powerful connection between local food, community, and the environment. Through her research and experiences, she explored the many benefits of choosing farmers markets over traditional grocery stores — from supporting local farmers and enjoying fresher seasonal produce to reducing environmental impact and building stronger community connections.

She shared how farmers markets are not only a place to shop, but also a fun and inspiring experience filled with creativity, conversation, and discovery.

One of the highlights of her project featured her favorite vendor, LE Honey, where she learned about the essential role bees play in pollinating the fruits and vegetables we rely on every day. Her presentation beautifully connected the importance of bees, biodiversity, and sustainable food systems.

At MUSE, students are encouraged to follow their passions, ask meaningful questions, and create learning experiences that connect directly to the world around them.

Teddy’s presentation on Life in Ethiopia was a thoughtful exploration of culture, sustainability, economy, and tradition. Through her research, she examined how climate change is impacting Ethiopia’s coffee industry, while also learning about the country’s three major economic streams: livestock, coffee, and khat.

She explored the unique architecture and cultural significance of the traditional Sheka House and brought his learning to life in the kitchen by creating Gomen Wat alongside Chef Robin — connecting food, culture, and hands-on learning in a meaningful way.

At MUSE, culminations empower students to dive deeply into global topics, build cultural understanding, and share their learning through creativity and experience.

Owen's culmination project brought the culture and history of Los Angeles to life through exploration, creativity, and discovery.

From visiting iconic landmarks and experiencing parts of the city for the very first time, to researching the moments, people, and movements that helped shape Los Angeles, this culmination was a true journey of connection and learning.

Through a personal photo collage, he captured his unique perspective of Los Angeles — a city filled with diversity, creativity, history, and endless inspiration.

At MUSE, learning goes beyond the classroom, encouraging students to experience the world firsthand and tell their own stories through meaningful exploration.

At MUSE Global School, learning comes alive through curiosity, exploration, and meaningful connection.

For his culmination project, Dresden dove deep into the culture and history of Detroit — exploring the city through firsthand experiences and independent research. From visiting the City of Detroit to creating his own digital tour, Dresden uncovered the stories, people, and industries that helped shape one of America’s most influential cities.

His project explored Detroit’s rich artistic legacy, legendary athletes, pivotal historical moments, the meaning behind the city flag, and the industries that built the Motor City into a global icon.

Through this culmination, Dresden demonstrated how learning can extend far beyond the classroom — blending history, culture, creativity, and real-world exploration into a project uniquely his own.

We are proud of the curiosity, depth of research, and thoughtful storytelling he brought to this experience. 🌎✨

Wednesdays are for Farmers Market Fruit Salad! 🍓🍊🍍

Fresh, vibrant, and full of sunshine—our students are enjoying a delicious snack made with locally sourced fruits. From farm to table, every bite is a celebration of community, sustainability, and healthy choices.

Moments like these turn simple snacks into meaningful learning experiences—connecting students to where their food comes from and the impact it has on their wellbeing and the planet. 🌎

Last week, our middle and high school students took learning beyond the classroom and into the heart of Seattle 🌆

From navigating the city using public transportation to exploring new neighborhoods, this trip was all about building independence, confidence, and real-world skills. Students practiced problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability—learning how to move through a busy city with awareness and intention.

Experiences like these turn everyday moments into powerful lessons, helping our learners grow into capable, curious, and connected global citizens.

🌎 This Earth Day, learning goes beyond the classroom.

At MUSE Global School, we celebrate by connecting with communities around the world—because real impact happens when education meets action.

From California to Connecticut, Florida to Hawaii, and beyond, families are coming together to honor our planet through local events, conservation efforts, and hands-on experiences:

✨ Community cleanups & tree planting
✨ Eco-fairs, green expos & sustainability workshops
✨ Wildlife education & nature-based learning
✨ Recycling drives & conscious living initiatives

Whether it’s exploring eco-events in your neighborhood or participating in global efforts like Costa Rica’s beach cleanups and reforestation projects, every action matters.

Even one small choice—like eating one plant-based meal a day—can help conserve water, protect forests, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support endangered species.

🌱 The future is shaped by what we do today.

Find an event near you, get involved, and be part of the change.
