In 1906, Lucy Madeira Wing founded a school “for the purpose of preparing girls for the leading women’s colleges.” In 1929, the school was incorporated as The Madeira School. Madeira relocated from Washington to the suburb of McLean, Virginia, in 1931. Today, Madeira’s mission is to lead innovation in girls’ education and to launch women who change the world. Learning at Madeira results from an intentionally designed, innovative, developmental, ambitious and girl-centered curriculum, which builds critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills. Each student has the opportunity to study discrete disciplines as well as explore connections between and across disciplines and learning environments.
