Partner Teachers in Grades 3–5

In grades 3-5, every Madeleine classroom has two full-time lead teachers. Not a teacher and an aide, but two co-equal partners who plan and teach together every day.

This lets teachers differentiate instruction, adapt pacing, and work with smaller groups. In TK and Kindergarten, a dedicated classroom aide supports our youngest students through their educational journey.

"We are grateful for Joseph's teachers. They aren't just teaching him math, science and reading, they are helping to shape him into a caring, curious, and engaged young person."
