[quote=Anonymous][quote=anonymous78]Anyone familiar with [b]Madeira[/b]? It's an all-girls school near DC. What are the girls there [b]focused[/b] on--academics? athletics? arts? [b]Co-curriculum[/b], [b]activities[/b], [b]academics[/b], [b]athletics[/b], etc. - what is it like? Admissions - how difficult is it to get in? [b]SSAT scores[/b]? What do they look at? DD likes the school a lot. [b]Personal anecdotes[/b] and/or [b]other opinions[/b] all welcome.[/quote] The girl are focused on whatever they choose - it varies. Did you take a tour? It's hard to convey exactly what the entire school is like in a post. Is your daughter boarding or day? It's difficult to get in. SSAT scores must be pretty good. I graduated over 15 years ago. It was nice and a good education, but I don't want to immerse my child in an unrealistic and self-segregating elite environment like that (i.e. most elite private schools), so I won't be looking at private schools.
