HistoryOriginally located on 19th Street near Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., it was founded by Lucy Madeira Wing (1873–1961) in 1906 and moved to the Northern Virginia suburb of McLean in 1931.[2] Since 1931, its campus has grown beyond the original campus buildings-- Main, the dining hall, Schoolhouse, East, West, and North South Dorms, The Land, the Annex (infirmary), and the two gatehouses at the entrance to the Oval-- to include the Chapel/Auditorium, the indoor riding ring and Gaines Hall, the science building, a renovated and expanded dining hall, Hurd Sports Center, and Huffington Library.[3] Madeira's mission is to "launch women who change the world"[4]. Since 1966, the school has carried out its keystone Co-Curriculum Program. For five weeks every year, all sophomores intern at community centers and schools, juniors intern in Congressional offices, and seniors create their own internship in the DC area or abroad.[5] In 2018, Madeira was named the #1 Best Private High School in Virginia, #1 Best Boarding School in Virginia, and #1 Best All-Girls High School in Virginia by Niche.[6] The school has an average SAT score of 1340 and average ACT score of 30.[7] Important Madeira traditions include Red and White Teams, the Oval (which walking across is forbidden), Founder's Day, and 13 Red Roses, which seniors carry at Commencement. The school's mascot is a snail; spectators at Madeira sports often cheer "Go, Go Escargots."[8] Madeira has one of the best equestrian programs in the country; it has been a core component of the school's offerings for over seventy years. In 2017, Madeira's equestrian team won the IEA Reserve National Championship, defeating over 1300 teams in the country.[9] In 1980 the then Head Mistress Jean Harris was arrested for the murder of Herman Tarnower. DemographicsMadeira is a boarding school, with students from twenty states and fifteen countries. The demographic breakdown of the 310 girls enrolled in 2013-2014 was:[1]
Campus and facilitiesThe campus is on {{convert|376|acre|km2}} overlooking the Potomac River (McLean, Virginia) and consists of 34 separate buildings. Public accessThe Madeira school has had many disputes over the use of its land. In 1966, Fairfax County proposed the turning of 208 of Madeira's privately owned {{convert|376|acre|km2}} into public park land.[10] In 1991 Madeira gave a trail easement along Georgetown Pike, as well as $89,000 for that trail construction to complete the Potomac Heritage Route without visitors entering the main area of the campus.[11] However, this trail was never completed by the park officials. In 2008, the Fairfax County government attempted to obtain from Madeira an easement near the Potomac River to permit the completion of a {{convert|100|mi|km|sing=on}} loop of walking trails as a condition of approval for the school's proposed expansion plans. This one-mile (1.6 km)-long trail section through Madeira's property would connect the county's Scott's Run Park to Great Falls National Park. The Madeira School declined this easement, citing concerns about safety and environmental impacts.[12][13] Administration, faculty, and staffThe Madeira School is controlled by a board of directors, and the school is administered by a Head of School.
