Why You’ll Love It Here

At Madrona, our core subjects are taught in small, flexible groupings enabling our students to accelerate and receive support as needed. Critical thinking, scientific literacy, and strong skills in reading and writing are emphasized throughout a student’s time at Madrona.

In all our programs, we seek to balance rich opportunities for intellectual growth with the time needed for children to absorb and integrate what they have learned.
