Madison Academy

At Madison Academy, we seek young men and women of good character with a record of scholastic success or demonstrated academic promise, along with the potential to make positive contributions to the School community, and beyond.  Our goal is to build a school environment that intellectually, physically and spiritually nourishes all of our students.  As such, MA seeks students who will be comfortable with and benefit from a challenging college preparatory academic program, with complementary co-curricular activities such as fine arts, athletics and student organizations.

Consisting of Board Members, individuals selected by the Board, and a representative of the Administration, the Admissions Committee makes admissions decisions based on consideration of an applicant’s standardized test scores, academic performance, behavioral maturity, teacher recommendations and the potential of the student and family to enhance the culture of the school community. Accordingly, the following areas of interest are used by the Committee in determining admission:

Academic Ability and Performance:  The Committee is interested in knowing the applicant’s academic potential, to assure that he/she will benefit from the expectations of the school’s college preparatory curriculum.  Therefore, if he/she has not already done so, an applicant may be asked to take the Otis-Lennon Placement Test prior to completing the admissions process.  Prior academic performance, standardized test scores, and other objective measures will be reviewed to determine if an applicant can succeed in our academic program.

Character and Values:   By our mission statement, we seek to provide an environment of Christian values in which to learn and grow.  Evidence of character traits such as integrity, respect for others and self, and responsibility are valued in the admissions process.

Extracurricular Interests, Talents, and Achievements:  A well-rounded school community is important in the development of the well-rounded student, and the Admissions Committee understands that each student brings different talents to the school community.  Where these talents enhance the overall student experience, the Admissions Committee will consider these in light of.that potential.

Madison Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, color, national or ethnic origin. All discussions and decisions regarding applications are kept strictly confidential, including reasons for acceptance and non-acceptance.

Madison Academy reserves the right to retract an offer of admission to a student previously accepted if the final transcripts, evaluations or academic testing reveals performance or behavior that is contrary to Madison Academy’s standard for admission, or if any information on the original application is found to be false.
