“There is no secret to educational success. There is no magic potion. I credit my daughter’s success to the educational foundation she received at Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School. My daughter was prepared by her teachers to accomplish her academic, personal and professional goals. They equipped her with the skill set not only to be successful in the classroom but also in the world.”
