Mayfield Senior School of the Holy Child Jesus is a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school for young women sponsored by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. The school is committed to academic excellence within the context of Christian values. With an average class size of 15 and a faculty/student ratio of 8:1, Mayfield’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that knowledge is best gained in an atmosphere of disciplined thought, personal concern and religious awareness. Mayfield fosters each student’s intellectual, spiritual, artistic, emotional, and physical gifts, thereby enabling each to make a meaningful contribution to society. Mayfield also challenges each student to reach beyond herself and render service to others. Respectful of its traditions, Mayfield is always open to the new, “meeting the wants of the age” in the spirit of Cornelia Connelly, foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. Cornelia Connelly viewed God’s world with deep respect and care. Her schools offer a holistic response to the challenges of each historical period. This education requires insight into the needs of the time regarding its values, ethics, choices and spirituality. Within the Mayfield community, interaction among faculty, students and administration is characterized by courtesy and mutual respect. Trust, responsibility, friendship and self-discipline are normative. Each is encouraged to “be yourself but make that self what God wants you to be.” Consequently, Mayfield values humility that is vigorously honest and compassion that is enduring. The measure of a Mayfield education goes beyond cumulative grade point averages, test scores and academic success. It plumbs depths that touch character and virtue and finds expression in “Actions Not Words.” Mayfield fosters unity within diversity, simplicity and faith that generates a joy of being.
