Can you apply for both? Do they ever waitlist for day and offer a spot for boarding as an alternative?

It’s at the top of my daughter’s list to apply for fall 2025 so we are just starting to research.

When my daughter applied a few years ago, you had to choose. I believe a day student can shift to boarding in a subsequent year (and, probably, vice versa for local boarders).

Does anyone know approximately how many of the boarders at Madeira are local versus out of state / overseas?

I have no idea but I expect the school would be willing to give you ballpark percentages if you ask.

Roughly 50/50

Anecdotally speaking - of the 40 boarders in a class of 80 there are 15 international boarders, 10-15 local boarders and the rest are from out of state.

My daughter went to Madeira and graduated in 2022, Amazing school. Shy girl admitted from WES middle school. Madeira brought out confidence and brilliance out of her. Great teachers. The kids bond tightly regardless of race or background. Incredible school. Daughter currently shinning in Harvard. Turned down admissions to MIT, Stanford, Yale, Berkley, UPenn. It was crazy to settle on a school after so many offers. I can not recommend this school enough.

Madeira's trending away from its core strengths and more toward becoming another factory for social justice activists. Sad.

Wouldn’t call it a ridiculous take, to them the core strengths mean white supremacy.

The fool above asked what I was smoking. Others made quite negative comments. Saw the thread and commented truthfully but I always sadly forget that you have so many toxic souls on line. Tough to be happy for others. Good luck. You get what you put out . 😀👍

Omg stop asking multiple times on every thread that’s ever discussed Madeira. Once AGAIN:

There’s no timeline on waitlists. The most likely outcome is she doesn’t come off it. If they do call to offer a spot, it could happen anytime. Most common times are right around when decisions/deposits are due from accepted families, right around when tuition becomes binding (typically June 1; I’m not sure if that’s different for boarding), and during the summer.
