Best Cramming School Tempe Near Me

4worldlovers: At James Madison Preparatory School, we stress America’s great academic traditions and disciplines in a small 6th through 12th grade setting. We offer an education that promotes history as the great teacher of life. We foster and reward character attributes in our students. We provide an environment where students are free to learn, encouraged to think, and expected to excel.

"JMPS provides ample opportunities for students to grow in any way that interests them…My son can do things today that were not even a thought in either of our minds before. He received many accolades for his athletic performance, but he can also play guitar and drums, sing, lead a courtroom, lay tile, and change a tire — to name a few. He learned to be a team member and a leader. Not to forget, there’s the education he received as well.

I asked the administration many times throughout the course of my son’s time at JMPS how they could get so much out of their students. These students are involved, they are busy and they get it all done and to high levels. The answer I always heard is simple: they never tell the students they can’t."


"Having my kids at JMPS for 6th-12th grades has been the best parenting decision I have made. In addition to Honors and AP class availability, they also participate in extracurriculars such as theater, softball, robotics, soccer, student government, NHS and so much more. The best of everything is at JMPS: a rich, fulfilling educational experience that you see in the big schools AND the mentorship and personal attention you want from a small school. "

"After graduating from one of the top honors colleges in the country, I can say without a doubt that the academic education I received from JMPS gave me an invaluable head-start over the majority of my peers. The skills I learned right away at JMPS were things that the majority of my classmates in college struggled with. I was so grateful for the preparation that JMPS gave me to handle any assignment that came my way at college."

From the moment you walk in the door at Holdeman Elementary, you can feel the energy, the warmth, the sense of purpose that makes this school so special. From the exceptional leaders to the incredible students to the wonderful teachers and staff to the supportive families and community – Holdeman Elementary School is truly changing the world for us all.


My name is Dr. Jeff Shores. I'm proud to be your principal. Originally from Virginia, I moved to Arizona in 2000 to work at Arizona State University and complete my master’s degree. After graduating in 2002, I taught in the Washington Elementary School District and Queen Creek Unified School District. After earning my doctoral degree at ASU, I worked as the Dean of Students at Queen Creek Middle School before being named principal of Hudson Elementary in 2012. After seven years at Hudson, I am ready to start the next chapter of my career at Holdeman Elementary.


I encourage you to meet your child’s teacher and begin to develop a relationship. Your teacher will work to develop a relationship with your student and will work to communicate with parents and family members through your phone or another device. Electronic, regular communication is the best way to ensure that your student is having healthy experiences at Holdeman; both academically and behaviorally. This is also an excellent way to contact your teacher throughout the year to understand where your child may need help. Ask the teacher for resources or ideas to do at home. I would also encourage parents to get involved in your student’s education by participating in the PTA or volunteering in the classroom. The level of emphasis and concern you place on your child’s education will result in the level of education your child attains.

We at Holdeman Elementary are excited about the school year and look forward to an environment of academic excellence and a wealth of learning. We believe in the power of education and its endless limits. Our teachers will continue to do what they do best and Holdeman Elementary will thrive.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to getting to know you.
