Mayfield Junior School
Mayfield has a large, attractive campus with several athletic fields, basketball and handball courts, a large auditorium (with a knotty-pine stage for dramatic performances). a convent chapel, and a beautiful, well-stocked library.
The campus has an old-fashioned feeling about it with a collection of buildings from the thirties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties! The classrooms are large and bright (all air-conditioned) with lots of windows. The only thing that detracts from an otherwise outstanding physical setting is the chain-linked fences that seem to separate every little out-side area, and chop it up in such a way as to lose the open feeling one could have on this large piece of property.
I found the library to be a high-point on the parent tour. It is located in the Pike Resource center and is beautifully laid out with lots of large, round tables. It has a lower level, with pillows on the floor for a more relaxing read. Above this reading area is a large, round window allowing lots of natural light to come in, giving the whole room a charming feel.
Mayfield is a Catholic school committed to the philosophy of Cornelia Connelly, founder of the Society of the Holy Child, who believed in the spirit and talents of the individual. The school provides a traditional academic and religious education challenging each child to reach his or her potential.
