[quote=Anonymous]One DD there now, one graduated: they both loved their Madeira experiences. They're both bright girls who really enjoy school and like to challenge themselves, but also are not super competitive or type A and have a creative side (theater and studio art). Madeira is academically rigorous (and boarding students start off having study hall every night which helps a lot with the workload and good study habits) but not hypercompetitive which I think both my girls appreciated, and it led to a bit more diversity of types of students. The culture very much encourages girls to be well rounded, especially the co-curriculum program. The thing I like best about it (and was really struck by when I first visited) was how much of a community feeling there is to the school (both DDs were boarders), overall it feels like a place where girls and teachers work to support each other, both in class and in boarding life. My oldest was very into STEM at Madeira, and is currently studying bioengineering in college. She actually mentioned to me the other day how grateful she was for her Madeira study hall when she got to college, despite how terrible she thought it was at the time  :lol: [/quote]
