[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madeira is different because almost half the students board on campus. This changes the whole culture. There are plenty of local girls as well but because of the location, it doesn't draw has heavily from places like CC which have the most clique-y culture. Also many girls wind up at Madeira because of interest in the equestrian program and the option to board horses at the school, so you get girls from further out who grew up riding. It's its own thing.

This is very different from schools like Holton or HC where there is a community of families and girls regularly see each other outside of school and some may have grown up in the same neighborhoods, attended the same preschools or lower schools (if different) and yes may belong to the same country clubs or have done extra curricular together. And where parents may know each other and have their own cliques.

Even if your DD is a day student, Madeira is more of a boarding school experience than the other schools in the area. Day students are even assigned to one of the dorms on campus and will do meals and activities with that dorm.[/quote]

DP. Interesting. All of the Madeira alums I know belonged or currently belong to Chevy, Met Club, etc... [/quote]

Hi, Madeira alum here! I...do not belong to a club. Nor do my children go to private school. I do live in Potomac though![/quote]
