What makes Madeira so Unexpected?

Welcome to Madeira, where instead of asking girls, “Are you ready for college?,” we ask, “Are you ready to change a world in need of changing?” That’s because launching women who change the world is what we do (and what we’ve done since 1906!).

Here, girls experience the unexpected. They forge deep connections. They find their voices and boldly use them. They sharpen their self-advocacy skills. They apply what they’re learning in real-time, in the real world.

Yes, Madeira girls are a powerful bunch – perhaps that’s why colleges wish there were more of them!

If you’re ready to gain the impressive life skills, real-world experience, curiosity, passion, and confidence that define a Madeira girl, then let’s get started.

Affording Madeira

While a Madeira education is a significant investment, we never want tuition to be a barrier for entry. We encourage any family of a potential Madeira girl to learn more about financial aid if affordability is a concern. Madeira awarded more than $4 million in grants and scholarships in 2022-23.
