It was founded in 1958 by a group of well-educated parents, who were seeking a quality experience for their children. They built the school themselves. For 39 years of its 48-year history, Mayfair has had only three teacher/directors, with many generations of students and parents, indicating a stable happy arrangement. Some of the students have grown to be parents in the school.

Besides promising a quality experience, through a balanced, age appropriate and thoughtful curriculum, Mayfair has these special attributes that give parents assurance of living up to the promise.
