Alumni New Family Incentive Program Continues

Mount Madonna School is offering a New Family and Sibling Incentive Program for our Mount Madonna School alumni.

Recognizing that alumni word of mouth promotion is one of the most effective ways of building our school community, we want to offer a token of gratitude in the form of a cash gift of $250 to each alumnus who refers a family to Mount Madonna School, which results in a newly enrolled student. This is a way for us to say thank you to our alumni for this invaluable service to Mount Madonna School.

Details:

Pilgrims, Politics and Immigration

Student artwork and educational posters adorn the walls in the classroom next to the Farmhouse Office, alongside shelves filled with literature and non-fiction books and neatly-organized desks. This inviting space is where Mount Madonna School’s (Mount Madonna School) first grade class spends time each school day, writing, reading, discovering and learning together. The curriculum is rich and varied, and recently involved lessons on the pilgrims, geography, politics, immigration and family heritage.
