The Madeira School is a private, non-denominational preparatory boarding school for girls located in McLean, Virginia. Madeira is a mixture of the fast, cosmopolitan pace of Washington, D.C. – with a booming cultural life, the buzz of politics, and the mix of diverse nationalities – and the beauty and serenity of the 376-acre campus where one can get caught up in nature by walking in the woods and admiring the spectacular views of the Potomac River.
