Located on 355 acres on the summit of Mount Madonna, between Gilroy and Watsonville, Mount Madonna School pursues our mission and values through the integration of Academic Excellence, Creative Self-Expression and Positive Character Development. This integration brings depth, meaning and enthusiasm to learning.
We are a community of learners. We support our students to become caring, self-aware and articulate critical thinkers, who are prepared to meet challenges with perseverance, creativity and integrity. We believe that a meaningful life is characterized by personal achievement and the ability to work effectively with others in service to society.
We Value:
* Academic achievement made visible by a personal commitment to learning that balances both comprehensive understanding and in-depth inquiry in multiple disciplines.
* The integration of intellectual, emotional, social and creative learning.
* A learning environment that encourages meaningful relationships based on self-acceptance, empathy, respectful and honest communication.
* The transformative power of immersion in the creative process that includes cognitive learning, teamwork, direct experience, reflection and mutual appreciation.
* A close relationship with nature that inspires experiential learning, a commitment to environmental stewardship and a sense of well-being.
