At Madera Elementary School's Civic Leadership Academy, every student is taught the skills needed to become active and responsible citizens in a democracy. Our nonpartisan approach uses the six practices for Civic Leadership: Classroom Instruction, Current Events, Service Learning, Extracurricular Activities, School Governance and Simulations of the Democratic Process. Our teachers receive special training in Civic Leadership Instruction. We provide a learning community where achievement is fun and engaging. The Civic Leadership Academy is a Connected Learning Program linked with Sinaloa Middle School and Royal High School.

Message from the Principal
You may have received an update earlier regarding my medical leave of absence starting Wednesday, August 25th, with an expected return at the beginning of October. This decision was challenging, but it is necessary for me to focus on my health so that I can better serve our students and families upon my return. I will truly miss the daily interactions and smiling faces of all our students.
To ensure that Madera continues to operate smoothly during my temporary absence, we have made arrangements for Mr. Philip Ross to serve as the acting principal. Mr. Ross is a retired Simi Valley Unified Elementary Principal and has previously served as an interim principal for other schools in our district when needed. He also held the position of Director of Independent Study at Bridges Charter School in Thousand Oaks. With his extensive experience, Mr. Ross is a lifelong educator with a passion for learning, and he is dedicated to making this transition as seamless as possible.
Together, we will remain focused on supporting all students as they continue to learn and grow both academically and socially. Your understanding and support during this time are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school office.
Thank you for your continued support.
