[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child at one, and know kids at the others and looked at both.  Go to the one closest to where you live.  The commute sucks, and each school has more girls from their side of the river.  Yes, there are differences- and if you feel strongly look at those too, but the workload is a lot at both schools.  Academically, the difference is at Holton you have lots of short periods and more competitive vibe of students.  But you also have time for study halls and a more traditional schedule. Madeira has Mods where you are cramming a lot in 5 weeks, and the fifth week is very stressful every 5 weeks, but the girls are less competitive among each other.  Either way, they are both rigorous and a lot of homework.

Socially, their can be more cliquieness at Holton. The Madeira girls are very nice and not cliquey, and more diverse with an international crowd.  Holton does some things with Landon, Madeira is more isolated and has little to no contact with boys.  Girls who are not borders are mostly from Virginia.  At Holton girls are more from MD and DC.

Both have great arts programs. Sports are mostly better at Holton.  Girls go to great colleges from both.[/quote]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you![/quote]
