Head of School

Mayfield Junior School is a remarkably joyful community. You will notice and feel this the first time you step foot on our lively and beautiful five-acre campus. You will witness students who are happy and motivated, and teachers who love teaching. Students experience a thoughtfully designed, intellectually challenging, and creative program of study that develops a love of learning and academic excellence.
