The school’s staff doesn’t stop at mere education. They rely on parents and the community to “provide an exceptional educational experience for our students where the goal and mission of the school is to develop creative and resilient global citizens.”

The school is used to seeing its students engage in acts of kindness. This month, the “Madison Club ‘Send-A-Box'” worked together to gather backpacks and school supplies for kids in Uganda. They were able to send 80 backpacks, “filled with school supplies” to children for the school year.
