[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a family with children at both SR and Madeira. They send their “theater kid” to Madeira. She is quite talented, acting in community theater productions since she was young. At Madeira, you must take a fall, winter, and spring activity. If you are talented enough to make the select dance team (you need to try out) you can take dance for all three blocks. Meaning you are dancing for at least an hour every day for the whole year. There are less intense options, where you can dance for one D block or take an elective dance class. Theater is offered for every D block and acting classes are also offered as an elective. I’m not sure there is a better theater program in the area. [/quote]

D block offering also include sports (most of which are officially or effectively no cut), physical training/yoga/pilates and, I think, things like newspaper.  Of course, there's also the horses.  They take great efforts to make sure girls can pursue their interests in a supportive setting, but team by team in athletics, SR is stronger in most cases (by a lot in many cases).  The theatre and arts programs are terrific.  They also have strong offerings in art as an academic subject.  [/quote]
