Madison Country Day School is Dane County's only independent, private Pre-K through grade 12 school, offering a challenging and comprehensive college-preparatory education, including the Madison area's only International Baccalaureate program.

Coupled with our small class sizes and individualized instruction, the MCDS curriculum is the cornerstone of one of the country’s finest college-preparatory educations.

An inspiring learning environment is critical for maintaining our academic standards. Beginning with our esteemed faculty and staff who exuberantly share their knowledge and love for learning on a daily basis, it continues with parents dedicated to providing the support children need for a quality education. And last, but certainly not least, students embody our everyday lessons of respect, acceptance and understanding.
