Neely's Bend World Cultures and International Arts Magnet School

Neely's Bend Elementary School has provided quality education in the Madison area for more than 150 years. As we have changed from a rural to a suburban/urban setting, we have met the challenge to remain an effective school, offering the very best to our young scholars.  Our vision to grow critical thinkers, active problem solvers, inquisitive readers and proficient writers who value and respect the differences in people, customs and cultures is rooted in the idea that all students can learn in a nurturing, safe and accepting environment.

Our commitment to naturally grow scholars academically, socially and emotionally with consistent high expectations, engagement in the instructional practices and giving students opportunities to work collaboratively is our mission.  

Our community is a major contributing factor in the success of Neely's Bend Elementary. Our partnership with parents and the Madison community solidifies our values, culture and learning opportunities that Neely's Bend Elementary can offer our scholars.  We encourage you to visit our school and meet our staff and students.
