About Madison No. 1 Middle School
Madison No. 1 Middle School is the district’s Visual & Performing Arts middle school, and is also home to our middle school Spanish Immersion program.
Visual & Performing Arts Signature Program
Madison No. 1 Middle School is a comprehensive Visual & Performing Arts School offering a wide range of elective courses tailored to students’ ability levels rather than grade level. In addition to more common electives like band, P.E., music, and art, students can choose from theatre, dance, choir, and more. Multi-grade advanced and performance classes offer specialized options such as performance dance, advanced acting, crew (backstage theatre), and specialized art classes, ensuring every student receives a well-rounded arts education.
Spanish Immersion Signature Program
In Madison No. 1 Middle School’s Spanish Immersion program, students receive half of their academic content
in Spanish, participate in a Spanish acquisition class that focuses on fun and engaging activities that utilize the Spanish language, and enjoy a dedicated Spanish engagement game room. By the end of their 8th-grade year, Spanish Immersion students emerge as confident, culturally experienced, fluent Spanish speakers and may be eligible to receive up to two years of high school foreign language credit.
