Curiosity peaks around age four or five, but at Mount Vernon, we believe that`s just the beginning.
From big questions to exciting discoveries, our youngest learners are encouraged to wonder, explore, and follow their curiosity wherever it leads.
🎥 In Chapter 1 of our Are You In? series, Molly Hudson, Head of Lower School, shares how we`re nurturing a lifelong love of learning, one question at a time.

What do French baguettes, Vietnamese bánh mì, and a family’s journey across the world have in common?
Our Grade 7 French students took their learning beyond the classroom to @sate.grille, where they discovered how food, language, and history connect cultures.
Our first-ever MV Summer Arts Camp was a celebration of creativity, expression, and imagination.
Campers explored theatre, dance, visual arts, maker, design, and music through movement, storytelling, rhythm, set design, stage makeup, scene work, props, costumes, character creation, and collaborative projects.
The week ended with a special performance featuring original artwork, choreography, and songs from Matilda, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, and Hairspray.
From studio time to the stage, campers created, collaborated, performed, and brought their ideas to life in such meaningful ways.
Europe Week wrapped up AMP Camp with art, architecture, culture, imagination, and a few very delicious adventures.
Campers explored Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, England, Germany, and Greece through hands-on activities like Italian festival masks, Monet-inspired water lilies, Flamenco dancers, Grecian urns, stained glass windows, World Cup team t-shirts, French Impressionist paintings, fairy villages, and an English coronation.
They also visited Café Vendôme to learn about French pastries and taste éclairs, macarons, and chocolate croissants, then headed to Young Chefs Academy to learn the Italian art of making pizza.
From castles and famous artists to pastries, pizza, soccer, and design, Europe Week was the perfect finale to AMP Camp.
Africa Week at AMP Camp was packed with rhythm, creativity, history, and hands-on exploration.
Campers created African-inspired masks, painted with natural spices, made drums and shakers, wrote their names in Egyptian hieroglyphics, designed pharaoh collars, built sugar cube pyramids, and even prototyped apps to solve everyday challenges.
The week also brought unforgettable experiences with @djoli_kelen, who led campers in a djembe drumming workshop, along with expeditions to @zooatl, @theapexmuseum, and @worldofcocacola. From ancient history and cultural traditions to music, animals, and design thinking, campers explored Africa through art, movement, storytelling, and discovery.
