Mayo Demonstration Academy
The novel concept of age groupings instead of the standard grade system is just one hallmark of Mayo Demonstration Academy.
Educators there employ the Seven Learning Community Guidelines: Personal Best, Mutual Respect, Appreciations/No Put-Downs, Attentive Listening, Trustworthiness, Truthfulness and the Right to Pass. Add a core of “life skills”— examples include integrity, perseverance, cooperation, effort—and you have the backbone of a character education program that teaches children the importance of community and mutual respect.
The Mayo Difference:
- Integrated curriculum based on conceptual learning
- Emphasis on research
- Non-graded, multi-age groupings
- Extended school day for students
- Full-day 4-and 5-year-old programs
- Open classrooms
