The Madeleine is always welcoming new families at our Sunday 9:30 parish mass at St. Mary Magdalen Church. Families are always welcome to call 510-526-4744 and schedule a time to come by and visit the school.

If you visit us in the morning you will hear our students recite their motto: "Let's Be Good to One Another." 

Hope to see you at the Madeleine.
