MEETING THE ADMINISTRATORS, FACULTY, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS OF MAYFIELD SHOWED US THAT THE MISSION STATEMENT AND PHILOSOPHY ARE MORE THAN JUST WORDS. MAYFIELD’S PHILOSOPHY OF EXTENDING THEIR CURRICULUM BEYOND ACADEMICS IS SOMETHING WE FEEL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO GET INVOLVED AND THE IMPORTANCE PLACED ON PUBLIC SPEAKING WERE TWO THINGS THAT REALLY IMPRESSED US ABOUT THE CURRICULUM. EACH STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE BUT ALSO ALLOWED TO EXPLORE WHERE THEY FIT IN BEST, NURTURING PASSION AND CONFIDENCE. THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT THAT MAYFIELD PRESENTS TO YOUNG CHILDREN HELPS THEM UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF THEMSELVES AND WE BELIEVE IT’S THIS AWARENESS THAT BUILDS HUMILITY AND INTEGRITY.”

WE LOVE MAYFIELD JUNIOR SCHOOL FOR MANY REASONS, A HIGHLIGHT IS THE COMMITMENT TO EDUCATING THE WHOLE CHILD. WE FEEL THAT MAYFIELD’S APPROACH TO EDUCATION IS STRUCTURED ENOUGH TO EMPHASIZE CONSISTENCY AND COMMITMENT, BUT ALSO NIMBLE ENOUGH TO ADAPT TO THE VARIOUS WAYS CHILDREN LEARN.”

THE DAY I VISITED MAYFIELD I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THIS IS THE SCHOOL I WANT FOR MY CHILD. I KNOW MAYFIELD IS A PLACE WHERE MY SON’S SPIRIT AND MIND WILL BE NURTURED.”

THERE ARE MANY THINGS ABOUT MAYFIELD THAT HAVE IMPRESSED US; THE PASSION OF THE STAFF, THE ENRICHMENT CLASSES STARTING IN KINDERGARTEN, THE AMOUNT AND VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THE CHILDREN ARE INVOLVE IN, THE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM, THE LIBRARY AND SCIENCE LABS—ALL FANTASTIC. MAYFIELD HAS ALL THE INGREDIENTS TO PROVIDE A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION.”
