Families are attracted to Madison Country Day School for its academic excellence and inspiring environment.
We recognize that parents must also consider the financial contribution for an independent education and therefore, we seek additional opportunities to bring an MCDS education into reach for well-qualified students.

Building Use Fee
The Building Use Fee is a standard fee that is found in many independent and private schools. It is separate from tuition and used solely for routine facility expenses. The Building Use Fee for the 2010-2011 school year is $450 per family. It is important to note that this fee is not due until June 2011, and may be offset by using the school's SCRIP program.
