Madison Academy is a private, co-educational school located in Madison, Alabama. It serves students in preschool through 12th grade. (Preschool - Pre-1st are in "Little MA", while 1st - 12th attend school in the main MA building.) The school is affiliated with and endorsed by many area churches of Christ. It competes at the 3A level of athletics in the Alabama High School Athletic Association under the nickname "Mustangs".

Dress Code

Students of elementary and high school attending Madison Academy wear uniforms, or so-called "Spirit Wear". Unlike most school uniforms, MA has a fairly large selection of garments for both boys and girls. (ex. either pants or skirts for girls, button-up or polo shirts for boys) Each article of clothing is emblazoned with the MA logo, and most garments consist of one (or more) of the school colors.

Children attending Little MA, however, do not wear uniforms, as it is commonly agreed that kindergarten is too young of an age to wear uniforms. Instead, they are allowed to wear their own clothing.

Athletics

The Mustangs maintain quality athletic programs (baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, golf, volleyball, cross country and cheerleading). In recent years, they have built a strong reputation for basketball, winning three consecutive state championships in the 3A division (2006 ,2007, 2008). The Mustang baseball program won a state championship in 2009 and placed runner up in 2010. Over the last decade, the football program has posted numerous regional championships. The varsity football program posted an 12-1 record in 2009. This includes an undefeated regular season and regional championship.
