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. Detailed information
on private schools in the Huntsville/Madison County community
