Madison Country Day School

Inspiring academic excellence since 1997, Madison Country Day School (MCDS) is Dane County's only non-sectarian, independent Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 12 school. Launched by a small group of independent-minded students, families and community members in 1997, the driving force behind our success is our blend of academic excellence in an inspiring environment. •Academic excellence begins with a rigorous, world-class curriculum. Coupled with our small class sizes and individualized instruction, the MCDS curriculum is the cornerstone of one of the country's finest college-preparatory educations. •An inspiring learning environment is critical for maintaining our academic standards. It includes our esteemed faculty who exuberantly share their knowledge and love for learning on a daily basis. It continues with parents dedicated to providing the support children need for a quality education. And last, but certainly not least, it comes from students who embody our everyday lessons of respect, acceptance and understanding.
