Where Innovation Meets Education

At Mount Vernon, we don’t just teach—we ignite curiosity and foster a culture of innovation. Our students aren’t confined to textbooks and traditional classrooms; they embark on learning adventures that challenge the status quo and inspire them to think big.

Watch the Journey as our Head of School, Kristy Lundstrom, talks with students about their learning adventures all over Atlanta. Our students are trailblazers, thinkers, and creators. In these videos, you’ll see them discuss their most exciting projects and reflect on their personal growth and learning.

Featured Story

Listen as Sadler, a Grade 4 student, reflects on the importance of problem solving by embracing our mantra “be brave to try and try again.” While facing challenges can be tough, persistence is key to finding solutions, and learning from mistakes helps us grow. Being brave to innovate and iterate is an important part of the design thinking process that we encourage all students to embody along their learning journey.
