With newly constructed buildings and a refreshed campus in the North Central Corridor of Phoenix, Madison Richard C. Simis Elementary School welcomes students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade into an educational environment focused on the future, with state-of-the-art classrooms, a new gym, and gorgeous green spaces.
As an International Baccalaureate World School within Madison School District, Madison Richard Simis excels in academics and often ranks in the top 15% of elementary schools in Arizona with test scores in reading and math well above the district and state averages. Here, teachers write and adapt the curriculum with the IB teaching philosophy, which centers education around collaboration, problem-solving, and inquiry—so questions are encouraged and explored by all students.
All grades can also participate in the Odyssey of the Mind program, which is an international educational program providing opportunities for students to problem-solve and present solutions through creative presentations in competitions comprising thousands of teams across America and in other countries.
Among notable services, the school offers before- and after-school care programs, school break and summer camps, and a Native American program. Madison Richard Simis School truly offers something for everyone, giving students an opportunity to thrive both academically and socially.
