Promoting wellness

Community support

The health and wellness of every student is a top priority at Madeira. Throughout the year, our wellness team provides opportunities to raise awareness of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health issues as well as activities to practice self-care, gratitude, and mindfulness. As a community, we celebrate “Kindness Week” during which students and adults write notes of appreciation and affirmation to each other. The wellness team also facilitates fun activities around campus, such as “sidewalk snacks,” a walking challenge, and “puppy playtime,” to encourage students to take a break, relax, and engage in healthy coping strategies.

Campus enhances wellness

Our scenic campus and close-knit community also facilitate joyful oncampus experiences and encourage students to build strong connections with their classmates and teachers. The natural wonders of our 376 acres complement our ambitious academic program. From physical adventures and challenge courses to restorative walks and peaceful views, Madeira’s campus supports wellness.
