Madrona Independent School Reviews

Madrona was founded in 1993 to address the specific needs of learners operating at the top of their peer group. Instruction is based in delivering the fundaments of literacy and numeracy, though it also builds out considerably from there. The school isn’t tiny, with an annual student body of 50-65, but the feel is very personal and individualistic given a low student-teacher ratio. Students are encouraged to follow their interests and grow into an understanding of a sense of responsibility and active participation in their education. At the moment the school offers the primary and elementary grades, though the intention is to continue building the program through the high school grades relatively soon. That’s something that enrolling families, given the strength of the program, are keen to see realized. A strong school community, one that welcomes parental involvement in the life of the school, is a primary draw. The ideal student is one who will thrive in a challenging, hands-on, collaborative learning environment.
