[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a freshman at Madeira and she is over the moon.  She is a day student, and she did not know anyone in her class when she started.  She attended an independent school in Alexandria K-8, and while she has found the work to be challenging, it's not a pressure cooker environment.  The school is all about positioning girls to succeed, not cut-throat competition.  Teachers push the girls, but only to pull the best out of them.

Socially, she is thriving. She has fallen in with a wonderful group of girls that are a mix of out of state boarders, local boarders and day students.  The girls have a lot of indepent time, which has led to very strong relationships in a short period of time.

It's also clear that there's room for all types -- the girls naturally divide into clusters, but there's no real hierarchy that I can detect, unlike other private schools around here.

We are extremely satisfied with this choice, and we feel very good about the future at Madeira.[/quote]
