I've found that the teachers here want you to learn. They want you to succeed. They care about you as their student, and it's amazing how I can always come to them for help with anything.

Learn from classes that are conversations, not lectures

The Mayfield Senior School experience is characterized by personal attention. Our teachers take advantage of small class sizes to tailor their teaching strategies to accommodate a variety of learning styles. They also create classroom settings that foster discussion, collaboration and cooperation—proven ways in which young women learn best. With an average class size of 17, students have immediate access to their teachers, both inside and outside the classroom.
