Primary and Secondary Education
Established in 1875, the Huntsville City Schools system has a long tradition of excellence. It has shown a strong commitment to the needs of a diverse student population. The Huntsville City Schools system combines an outstanding core curriculum with advanced learning opportunities and innovative magnet schools to help students develop their talents. Beginning with the basics of a 4×4 curriculum, high school students study four years of English, mathematics, science and social studies.
Through the Toyota Distance Learning Labs, Huntsville students can choose from a broader range of courses and can learn from guest lecturers who add their expertise in everything from contemporary literature to medical concepts. Advance Placement courses in English, math, science, computer science, foreign language, social studies and art allow students to earn college credits.
Magnet school programs enable students to focus on international social studies, language, Space Science, engineering or creative and performing arts. The Space Science curriculum was developed with the assistance of NASA’s Marshall Space Center. The Creative and Performing Arts magnet has received many awards for its programs in visual arts, vocal music, creative writing, dance, drama, photography/video, and technical theater production.

Private Schools
Many independent or religiously-affiliated private schools are located in the Huntsville/Madison County area. Private schools give parents the option of selecting an educational institution with a smaller student-teacher ratio, traditional or alternative curriculum offerings, and other specialty programs. Many of the schools administer standardized testing programs, which measure the effectiveness of instruction and the selected curriculum. Private school administrators are invited to join the Huntsville-Madison Private Schools Association, a professional group that meets monthly to coordinate and support the initiatives of private school instruction. Additional information concerning private schools in the area can be found at: www.huntsvillemadisonprivateschools.org.
