Elementary School

After-school care is available until 5:30pm for children who cannot be picked up at our regular dismissal time. Our loving staff provides a snack and a variety of activities for the children to enjoy until their parents pick them up.   

Our elementary staff understands the significance of laying a proper foundation in early childhood all the way through sixth grade.  We want your child to have exploration opportunities with engaging learning experiences that will spark their interest in the subject.  We strive to connect with them and our community to establish a bridge of trust in our relationships.  We want your child to feel safe, loved, and enjoy being with us as we enjoy having fun! 

Academic rigor is of high importance, with the understanding that physical play, cultural awareness, development of spiritual roots, interest and appreciation of the arts as well as thinking outside the box are vital in educating the whole child. Our “special classes” set us apart by providing these opportunities. Students participate weekly in art, music, STEAM, Spanish, and library. The daily participation experience of organized and unorganized play during the school day provides experience of working as a team and peer interactions through the physical education class and recess.

We offer after-school enrichment activities, such as :

• Big Green Bus grades 1-2
• Drama grades 3-6
• Fellowship Christian Athletes grades 4-6
• Girls on the Run grades 3-5
• Knights Chess Club grades 1-6

• Soccer Shots  grades 1-3 

Activities are based on instructor availability and interest (vary year to year). 

Special field studies (field trips) are offered for students to allow hands-on educational experiences to aid with the curriculum.  Field studies are used to enhance and enrich our academic program. These trips allow students the opportunity to see real world concepts taught within the classroom.

MA Elementary Morning Newscast

Where Young Voices Shine   Welcome to our MA Elementary Morning Newscast, the vibrant hub where young minds come together to inform, inspire, and entertain! At Madison Academy, we believe in the power of nurturing leadership skills and providing unique opportunities for our elementary school students. Our newscast is one such avenue that empowers our students to take center stage and make a difference within our school community. 

Empowering Student Leaders  Collaboration and Mentorship At our Elementary newscast, teamwork is at the core of what we do. Our student journalists and producers collaborate closely with their peers, enhancing their communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, they receive invaluable guidance and mentorship from our dedicated teacher mentors who have a wealth of experience in journalism and broadcasting.   

Informing, Inspiring, and Entertaining   Our news cast isn't just about reporting events; it's about connecting with our school community, inspiring one another, and adding a touch of entertainment to our broadcasts. We aim to provide news that matters to our elementary school audience, making our news cast engaging, informative, and enjoyable for all.

We will seek to provide opportunities that help develop Christian attitudes. We wish to lead the child to the knowledge and understanding needed to live by and perpetuate the ideals upon which our nation was founded. We believe Christian and American ideals go hand-in-hand. We will work to provide high quality learning experiences and will be honest in the evaluations of our students and of ourselves.

We will strive to relate Biblical principles to everything that is taught, making these principles relevant to the students' lives now, as well as in the future. To achieve our goal, Christianity must permeate the classroom and all school-sponsored activities.
