The Madelaine Halmos Academy is temporarily located at the Salvation Army Community Center at 100 SW 9^th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale. Construction is now underway for the new school building which will be located on the same campus as Jack & Jill’s Early Education Center at 1315 West Broward Boulevard.

Greetings From The Head Of School

Welcome to the Madelaine Halmos Academy!

At MHA, we partner with parents to set our students up for academic success now and personal and professional success in their futures. When you visit our classrooms, the sense of family, love and acceptance is undeniable. Our students are nurtured by caring staff and are challenged to grow in mind and character each day. It is our honor to serve you.

A unique component of our school life is our emphasis on social-emotional learning and development. Our Family Strengthening program, instructional team and enrichment staff strive together, to ensure that our students’ social-emotional well-being is a top priority.

We are at a pivotal time in the life of our school, when we will soon open the doors of our new, state of the art facility, where we will passionately serve over 220 students from Kindergarten through 5th grade! We look forward to incorporating new programs to our repertoire including: animal-assisted therapy for literacy, performing arts integrations, technological innovations, financial literacy for children, mentoring programs and individualized instruction. We will continue to grow our STEAM programs, providing exposure and instruction in areas of science, technology, engineering, art and math for our students. We are eager to walk alongside you and your child, as together, you forge new, exciting pathways into a very bright future!

If you’re looking for a place where your child will feel loved, will be safe and will receive a sound education, the Madelaine Halmos Academy is the right place for your family.
