Maxfield is both a school and a home. At home, you do all kinds of things besides studying. That’s true here at Maxfield, too.
Classes are important, but so is fun.
You’ll hang out with friends during a meal, take a spontaneous walk to the small lake besides, or listen to music in a dorm room. But Maxfield also builds fun right into the routine.
