Welcome to Madison Country Day School!
At Madison Country Day School, we are proud to be part of a community that values education as one of the greatest gifts we can offer our children. In the Madison area, families are passionate about seeking the best learning environments—and MCDS stands out as a place where students are truly known, valued, and inspired.
In a world that can often feel impersonal and disconnected, MCDS provides an oasis of connection, purpose, and belonging. Our talented and dedicated faculty invest deeply in their students, encouraging them to take intellectual risks, refine their thinking, and grow in both character and confidence.
We are proud to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which aligns with our belief in developing the whole person. Through this rigorous and thoughtful curriculum, our graduates emerge as independent thinkers—curious, capable, and well-prepared for the future.
Our high school experience is designed to nurture academic excellence while encouraging participation in athletics and the fine and performing arts. Every student benefits from individualized college counseling and a beautiful, inspiring campus that supports deep learning and meaningful relationships.
At MCDS, we also foster intellectual humility, encouraging students to question assumptions, explore diverse perspectives, and grow through open inquiry.
We invite you to connect with us to learn more—and to experience firsthand what makes our school so special.
