About MUSE Global

Over the past twelve years, Suzy Amis Cameron and James Cameron, with Rebecca Amis, have been mavericks in the education field, innovating two highly successful MUSE School campuses - affectionately referred to as “mother ships”- located in Calabasas, California. These schools meet and exceed all California State accreditations and all national standards while providing unique, developmentally appropriate teaching strategies. Over the years, MUSE has received many requests to expand its concept to other locations, and it is now finally offering like-minded partners the opportunity to be considered for MUSE franchises worldwide. Franchisees must meet all applicable regulations in their own area as well as those extended through MUSE Global.
MUSE provides
• Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program
• Early Childhood Class (ECC): 2.3 - 3.7 years old  (two years and three months to three years and seven months)
• Early Kindergarten (EK): 3.8 - 5 years old (three years and eight months to five years)
• Kindergarten: 5 years old and up
MUSE is not a one-size-fits-all template but a conscious adherent to the studied intellectual property it has developed, which has proved to be successful in offering children a unique educational experience. Some key ways that MUSE schools differ from others include how MUSE students are introduced to beginning literacy, math, and science concepts even in the earliest developmental stages. Students also have weekly enrichment courses led by specialists in world languages, music, art, fitness, movement, outdoor education, environmental sustainability, and its unique Seed-to-Table Program for lifelong nutrition and wellness. Our brand is a market-driven approach designed to be economically self-sustaining and well positioned to offer attractive potential returns for investors and operators.
