A Message from the Principal

A Message from the Principal

At Madison Elementary, we believe in nurturing the whole child through an innovative and inclusive approach to education. As a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster school, we offer a rigorous, high-quality curriculum that emphasizes both academic excellence and artistic expression. Our vibrant arts programs include dance, rock band, and choir, and are enriched through strong partnerships with renowned arts organizations.

Our newly established dance studio, along with these arts opportunities, ensures that every student has the chance to explore and develop their creative talents. We also provide robust academic support, with City Year corp members, Tutor Corps, and dedicated parent volunteers contributing to our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to ensure that every student thrives.

At Madison, excellence is not just an aspiration—it’s the expectation. We invite you to join our diverse and dynamic community, where your child will be empowered to succeed in both academics and the arts.
