Noah Webster MicroSociety Magnet School (PK Age 3- Grade 8)

Program Overview:

At Noah Webster MicroSociety Magnet School, students collaborate with parents, community members, and teachers to build a miniature society in the school and establish a center of commerce and governance in which every child and adult participates. Children create and manage business ventures such as museums, travel agencies, quiz shows and theaters that produce goods and provide services. Our student Executive Branch works closely with classroom delegates to plan and organize events.
