The Madison STEAM Academy is entering its fourth year bigger than ever before! With courses now available to students entering grades 1 through 12 for the 2021-2022 school year, the STEAM Academy has an offering for the creative maker in all of us.
The 2021 Madison STEAM Academy also offers in-person and virtual courses, half-day or full-day scheduling options, and extended AM and PM care for added flexibility and accommodation for our students' needs and schedules.
The Madison STEAM Academy will begin on Monday, June 28th and run for six, week-long sessions concluding on Friday, August 6th.
We have redesigned the 2021 STEAM academy course offerings into five unique course groups to best support our diverse student population. Each course group has been tailored specifically for students within a certain age or skill range. The course groupings are designed to support our students through unique topics and themes, instructional styles, and available resources.

Schedule shown in Eastern Time
Students are now able to enroll in AM, PM, or Full-Day programs in our redesigned schedule. AM Courses begin at 9:00 am and conclude at 11:30 am while PM courses begin at 12:00 pm and conclude at 2:30 pm. Half-day students would depart / arrive during the break while full-day students would have lunch. Activities and lesson structure will vary across Course Groupings to best suit to the age and needs of each student population.
The half-day and full-day options in our redesigned schedule also allow students to participate in other summer programs, like the 2021 Madison Summer Arts program, along with the 2021 STEAM Academy.
Enrollment for the 2021 Madison STEAM Academy can be completed on a week by week basis through our Dodger Portal linked below. Please note, all in-person courses will be held at the Madison Junior School. The Madison STEAM Academy is not limited to residents from Madison, NJ.
The cost for each in-person, half-day course is $250 per week, while each virtual, half-day course is $200 per week. A 20% discount will be applied if two half-day courses are selected to comprise full-day enrollment during a single week. That means the cost to a student who participates in two in-person courses during one week would be reduced to $400, while the cost for two virtual courses taken during one week would be reduced to $320. Extended day before care and after care are available for an additional fee during enrollment.
Enrollment for the 2021 Madison STEAM Academy is now closed. We hope to see you next summer!
Due to low demand and community feedback, the 2021 Madison STEAM Academy will no longer offer virtual courses. All 2021 course offerings will now be in-person only for students entering grades 1 through 12.
Please Note: We are using the Madison High School Athletics Portal to allow families to enroll in the 2021 Madison STEAM Academy online. The STEAM Academy is not limited to Madison High School students and in-person courses will take place at the Madison Junior School.
