Madison Heights District and Curriculum
Madison Heights, Michigan is served by two school districts that include The Lamphere Schools and Madison District Public Schools. These districts offer elementary school, middle school, and high school facilities for resident students. Between the two districts, they have an annual enrollment of over 3,000 students. Educating the whole child and offering differentiated instruction are a part of the school districts’ goals for student success which is their top priority. The curriculum used is aligned with the national Common Core Standards and the Michigan Grade Level Expectations.
We currently cover the following Madison Heights-area school districts: Madison District Public Schools and The Lamphere Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Madison Heights District Curriculum
One of the main focuses of these standards is to introduce more non-fiction into the Language Arts curriculum. The purpose of this change is to ensure that students are prepared for the type of literature they will encounter in middle school and high school. Starting in Kindergarten, students will be introduced to the concept of non-fiction with the use of picture books and short readings that require them to follow a set of directions. As students become more competent readers, they will begin to critically read and write more non-fiction.
A main topic in the Social Studies curriculum for students is the study of the state of Michigan and its resources. Students will use map skills to learn the geography of the state including bordering states and bodies of water. Major regions of the state also play a role in this part of the unit. Students will then take what they know about the geography of Michigan and use it to analyze its resources and how they help the state economy in relation to the global economy.

Chalk Talk: Exchange Programs
Students who pursue a foreign language in high school may eventually have the opportunity to participate in a foreign exchange program. These programs allow students to spend time in another country in order to get hands-on experience speaking the language. Students often stay part of the time in a university setting and part of the time in a resident’s household. This enables students to not only be immersed in the language, but the culture as well. In order to be eligible for this type of program, students must maintain high grades, pass an interview, and have recommendations. Once students are selected, they will attend classes that familiarize them with the program, its requirements, and other participants. Depending on which country a student travels to, they may need additional vaccines or medical advice. The chance to experience another culture while in high school offers students a rare opportunity to expand their horizons.
