Mount Madonna School’s open admission and financial assistance policies do not discriminate based on race, gender, sexual preference, ethnic origin, disability, marital status, religion, creed or similar factors. This policy applies to all areas of student concerns: admissions, athletics, educational policies, financial assistance, and other school administered programs. Mount Madonna School is committed to maintaining economic diversity within our community of families. We allocate financial grants from our operating budget, the Bernice Arnold Scholarship Endowment and special donations designated for financial assistance. Grants are based on each family’s economic need, which is assessed independently through the School and FACTS.

Educating Future Leaders

“Over 25 years ago we were looking for a school for our daughter that would provide not only a well-rounded education but to partner with us to develop a good whole-balanced human being. In my mind, this included characteristics of compassion, love, morality, emotional intelligence, fairness and social engagement. We found Mount Madonna and it paid off in spades. I am very proud of who my daughter has become. We need institutions like Mount Madonna School to thrive so as to be a beacon.” – David Collier, alumni parent 

Sincerely,

Ann Goewert, Ph.D.
Head of School
