Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory

What Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory does

Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory is a private Catholic Marianist high school located at 500 E Chaminade Drive in Hollywood, Florida, serving grades 9-12 in Southeast Broward County. Founded in 1960 as Chaminade High School and merged in 1988 with Madonna Academy, the school operates under the Society of Mary (Marianist order) and is governed by a Board of Trustees. It reports a 100% graduation rate, an 18:1 student-faculty ratio, and approximately 28% of families receiving financial assistance, with Cognia accreditation. The institution delivers college preparatory academics including AP courses, honors programs, and a dual enrollment partnership with St. Thomas University, augmented by a Learning Center program (established 1999) for students with learning exceptionalities.

The school's co-curricular surface is substantial: 21 varsity athletic teams, 14+ honor society chapters, 14+ student clubs, campus ministry and retreat programs, and a 100-hour service learning graduation requirement. Technology infrastructure includes a 1:1 Apple iPad Air program, Apple TV projection in every classroom, the Canvas Learning Management System, NAVIANCE college planning software, and a fully wireless campus. Recent strategic investments — the 'Forward Together' five-year plan (2023-2028), a five-year food service partnership with Genuine Foods launching summer 2026, and a medical partnership with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital — indicate active institutional development rather than maintenance operations.

The business model is non-tuition-monolithic: recurring tuition is the primary revenue stream, supplemented by the Lions Fund annual giving campaign, Golf Classic sponsorships, athletic banner sponsorships ($500/academic year), Homecoming sponsorships, commemorative brick sales, Learning Center program fees ($3,750 annually per enrolled student), and student parking passes ($130 full year / $80 half year). Tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is event-driven direct admissions — Calendly-scheduled campus tours, open houses, student ambassador outreach to middle schools, and community events — with the website (cmlions.org) as the primary information channel. The institution is a Florida-registered non-profit organization with no parent company, private equity ownership, or external controlling entity beyond the Marianist order and board governance.
