Spiritual Formation
At Madison Academy, we celebrate each student’s unique spiritual journey and provide a safe, welcoming environment where it’s okay to ask life’s biggest questions. Here, students are encouraged to explore faith, deepen their relationship with God, and discover how His truth shapes every part of life.
We Believe:
- God loves us unconditionally!
- He delights in hearing our prayers!
- No matter how far we wander, God’s grace can reach us!
- Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ.
Jesus—one of history’s most influential and compelling figures—challenged religious norms, perplexed political powers, and lived out a life-changing message: Love God and love others. At Madison Academy, we seek to follow His example, embracing the “good life” He offers through faith, service, and compassion.
Message from our Spiritual Formation Director
It is a true joy to serve at Madison Academy, where the spiritual well-being of every student is our highest priority. We are passionate about creating opportunities for students to grow in every area of their lives, always with the goal of glorifying God in all they do.
Our mission is to meet each student right where they are in their spiritual journey—whether they are just beginning to ask questions or deepening a lifelong walk with Christ. We want every student to know that Jesus loves them deeply, has given His life for their redemption, and invites them into a restored, life-giving relationship with the Father.
At Madison Academy, spiritual growth is woven into everything we do—and our annual Upper School Spiritual Retreat is one of the most meaningful examples of that mission in action.
More than 380 students in grades 7–12 came together for a day of connection, reflection, and fun. Divided into 24 small groups led by dedicated faculty and staff, students journeyed through more than 15 interactive stations spread across our campus. From a slip ‘n slide and kickball to team-building challenges, ping pong, and dedicated prayer stations, each activity was designed to strengthen relationships, foster unity, and remind every student that they belong.
Throughout the day, students and teachers shared personal testimonies, encouraging one another with stories of faith and God’s presence in their lives. These moments of honesty and vulnerability are what make the Madison Academy experience truly special—where hearts are opened, faith is deepened, and a Christ-centered community grows stronger together.
As we launch into a new school year, this retreat serves as a powerful reminder that at Madison Academy, we’re more than a school—we’re a family growing in faith, purpose, and love for God and each other.
