[quote=Anonymous]There were some Russian girls recently. Of the three I knew, two were families living here (and doing work with industry associations or development banks). It's certainly not a destination school for Oligarch kids. It is a destination school for Asian kids. All that said, and haters aside, it has proven excellent for our DD. Great, supportive vibe, academics ready to met her where she is, not the heavy competitive vibe of some of the other DC schools. I think part of the reason Madeira doesn't do so well with those here is that it exists outside the hyper-competitive, status-focused and ratings-focused insanity of DC. They know it's a good school, they know the placements are excellent, and they know the young women go on to do interesting things and be happy in the choices they make. There's not a lot of "we're 4% better because of (insert convenient metric)".[/quote]
