James Madison Primary School provides a positive learning environment, rich in literacy experiences and inquiry-based instruction, to students in preschool through grade two. Given the age of the children that we teach, our staff prides itself on their ongoing commitment to providing instruction that is developmentally appropriate and designed to meet the varied needs of our young learners.
Our students are immersed in children's literature as we build the foundation for life-long reading. Quality literature serves as a springboard for our writing instruction. Our students participate in math instruction that incorporates the development of foundational skills and strategies. Equal to our rigorous academic instruction is our commitment to strong character development and pro-social skills instruction. Our students learn from a young age the importance of cooperation and collaboration as they work with partners, in small groups, and engage in whole-class activities.
