First of all, why is the organization called The Madame X Academy, and why does it have a “fictional” headmistress?

Well, that’s not exactly true. The headmistress does, indeed, exist, and she’s the silent puppet master behind the secret inner-workings of the academy. Don’t all proper lower-school institutions of elevated learning have a strong figure as their headmistress? Madame X is the academy’s curator of curiosities, oddities, people and experiences. The name just adds a sense of mystery, but it isn’t a cultural or historic reference.

The goal of The Madame X Academy is to:

  • Provide girls with experiences that encourage problem-solving and innovation through cross-disciplinary activities that are fun, challenging, supportive and engaging.

  • Create general exposure and access; enabling girls to think more expansively about themselves and the world.

  • Instill a greater sense of pride and self-esteem in each child by lightly threading African-American culture, history and context into fun projects and activities.

  • Expose girls to positive role models, by utilizing best-in-class instructors who lead with excellence, warmth and likeminded purpose.

  • Develop a greater sense of community among girls and families in the program.

  • Enable girls to express their authentic selves in a supportive environment.

  • Stimulate their imaginations!
