The Madeira School, a highly-regarded, girls’ boarding and day school in McLean, Virginia, is seeking a collaborative, engaging, and innovative leader to join them as the inaugural Director of Belonging and Global Education.

“Madeira is a place where I found my people. People who are on the same journey as me, to launch women who will change the world. A community that likes to laugh and have fun. An environment that is walking along with each other on our journey of lifelong learning. A place where everyone can be their personal best. A place where we give ourselves the time to learn and to embrace the process of learning as embodied in our motto, “Festina Lente,” which means “Make Haste Slowly.”
