[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the mods schedule like at Madeira? What makes it a good fit for a student?[/quote]

It is seven five-week periods. The girls take three classes at once. A lot of material is covered daily. There is occasionally time during the day to do homework, depending on the advisory schedule. It's a good fit for students who are organized and diligent. DD likes it because she has a new schedule every five weeks, which means new teachers and a new mix of classmates.

The core courses are spread over three mods. So, you end up having 15 weeks total of math, science, English, history, foreign language, and math. It gives them time to have a five-week internship during 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. 10th grade it's in service to others; 11th grade it's on the Hill; 12th grade it's self-determined. The internship program is a unique experience that really teaches the girls a great deal.

The final part of every school day is a mandatory sport or activity.

It's a lot of work, but it mimics a college schedule to some degree, so the transition to college by all accounts is quite seamless for the students. DD absolutely loves the school.[/quote]
