Seventh-day Adventists founded Madison Academy to prepare young people for the challenges of this life and for the glories of eternity.
This preparation is an integral part of the plan of salvation whereby God seeks to bring man back into harmony with His will so that man's moral nature may again reflect His image.
Progress toward this goal begins in the Christian home, but is further enhanced within the distinctive atmosphere of a Christian school which acknowledges God as the source of all true wisdom.
Therefore, Madison Academy's curriculum is rooted in the Word of God and provides a special opportunity for balanced physical, mental, social, and vocational education, and a spiritual development not available in secular institutions.
