The Madeira School

McLean, Virginia | Grades 9-12 & PG, All Girls | Founded in 1906

Description

Located on a 376 Acre Campus in McLean, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., Madeira is an independent boarding and day school that educates girls in grades 9-12. Madeira believes that learning is active and experiential, joyful and personal. Guided by caring, expert, demanding teachers who model the School’s values, students learn in various settings, from classroom to playing field, to the dormitory, to congressional office. Working toward one’s personal best deepens the habits of mind that lead to lifelong learning. Learning is its own reward.

Madeira is a leader and an innovator in girls' education. Deep learning crosses disciplines at Madeira. Girls have the opportunity to make connections between STEAM courses and courses in the humanities, between learning a language and learning a new art form, between classroom learning and experiential learning. Our curriculum relies on excellent teaching and students who play an active role in choosing their academic paths. Our focus on experiential learning through a renowned four-year Co-Curriculum internship program sets us apart. And our modular schedule provides a framework that gives students the discipline to absorb and reflect while encouraging active student engagement, collaboration, and experiential problem solving.
