W.J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School

W.J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School was founded in 1928 and has been designated as a Miami-Dade County historic landmark. As a museums magnet school, we utilize object-based and project-based methodologies in our daily instructional practices. Students use real-life artifacts, artwork, and models in order to bring abstract ideas to concrete understanding. What better way to incorporate real-world problem solving than through the use of our garden??
