Off Campus

We strive to offer students, faculty, staff, and other members of the Madeira community a variety of opportunities for travel abroad.

School Partnerships

The Madeira School partners with several schools around the world. These exciting partnerships allow us to learn about other cultures, customs, and languages while getting to know other students from around the world. School partnerships come in several forms.

Exchange partnerships

Students at Madeira have the opportunity to travel to and learn at schools overseas. Conversely, students from other schools may come to Madeira to experience our school and to experience life in the Washington, D.C., area. Many Madeira students choose to travel to exchange schools when Madeira is not in session.

Service partnerships

Students from Madeira partner with students from schools in other countries to exchange ideas and work together on service projects.

Virtual partnerships

Travel is not the only means for school exchanges. Our global portal allows students to exchange ideas and information via online communications. At Madeira, information and technology serve to promote and improve cross-cultural understanding and global awareness. Learn more about our global portal on our Connected to the World page.

School Travel

Travel through Madeira does not always involve school partnerships. Sometimes teachers organize and chaperone trips related to their curriculum.

Cultural Trips

Students and/or members of the Madeira community travel throughout a country learning about the culture, geography, and customs of that country.

Service Trips

These trips will allow students and other members of the Madeira community to participate in domestic or global community service.
