MADEIRA SCHOOL AND CAMPUS
Madeira’s 100-year history educating girls in grades 9–12 in the Washington, D.C. area has allowed the school to develop strong relationships with some of the capital’s most influential professionals in order to provide girls with fresh intellectual possibilities. The campus has as much space and student resources as many colleges, including a library, a sports center, playing fields, a natural amphitheater, and an indoor and outdoor horse-riding facility. The 376-acre campus is just twelve miles from Washington, D.C., and the world-class array of cultural and historic destinations the United States’ capital city has to offer. Students visit D.C. on a variety of occasions during the program.

HOUSES
Girls live in double rooms in Madeira’s six attractive dormitories which combine modern conveniences with turn of the century architectural charm. Each 25-30 girl house at Madeira has its own technology center, laundry room, and lounge. Students eat thoughtfully prepared, healthy, gourmet meals in a spacious, newly renovated, air-conditioned dining hall.

CLASSROOMS
The 46 classrooms at Madeira include a broad range of laboratory, computer, and multimedia features suited for our instructors’ innovative educational purposes and our students’ educational needs. The entire campus operates on a fiber-optic computer network, including smart boards and wireless Internet capability in all classroom buildings.

SAFETY
Student health and safety are our first concern. Our campus features 24-hour staffed, gated
security as well as nurses in residence. Our Program Directors can be reached at any time of
day or night by calling the Program Office or Security Office.
