Mount Vernon is an independent school serving over 1250 students from Preschool through Grade 12. Mount Vernon School is a community where curiosity is cultivated, multiple perspectives are valued, and prototypes are built and iterated until mastery is achieved. Learning is amplified through real-world problem-solving, creating limitless possibilities for meaningful impact.
Mission
We are a school of inquiry, innovation, and impact. Grounded in Christian values, we prepare all students to be college ready, globally competitive, and engaged citizen leaders.
We are designing a better world...right now.

Commitment
We commit to creating and sustaining a school culture where all members feel valued and safe, sharing their authentic selves to design a better worldโฆtogether.
A PURPOSEFUL JOURNEY
The journey for all students to become college ready, globally competitive, and engaged citizen leaders begins in Preschool and continues through Grade 12. Along the journey, we build foundational literacies, skills, attributes, and meaningful relationships.ย
Mount Vernon Mantras
