Where does knowledge meet maximum impact?
At Mount Vernon
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.

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.
Approach
We design relevant, transformational curricular and learning competencies from Preschool through Upper School, explored through an inquiry-based approach and assessed on levels of proficiency.
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 world…together.
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.
Mount Vernon Mantras
At Mount Vernon, our Mantras reflect the conditioning and fuel required for sustained growth, performance, and accountability over time. They are the behaviors that thrive in this culture. Remaining committed to utilizing these Mantras allows us to design an incredible future together.
What happens when students aren’t given a prompt, but a problem to solve?
@themvid_students stepped inside @inspirebrands and took on real challenges across @arbys, @baskinrobbins, and @bwwings. No script. No roadmap. Just curiosity, research, and bold thinking.
Eight weeks later, they were presenting their ideas in a boardroom to executives and redefining what student work can look like.
This is learning, reimagined.

Everything they want is still in front of them.
For Dante Romagnoli ’26, captain of the varsity boys soccer team, this season has been defined by resilience. A belief, reinforced by his coach, that no matter the moment, the next opportunity is always ahead.
That mindset has empowered a team that has grown, battled, and built something of their own. A program they are proud of. A team that has earned respect and now steps onto the field ready to compete, not just participate.
Tomorrow, they play for the region championship.
Dante’s message to future Mustangs is simple: give it your all, because it will give it all back to you.
Through the Let’s Do This campaign, we are creating the spaces and opportunities for more students to build something of their own, to compete, to grow, and to belong.
We are $1M away from the finish line. Help us give our all to future Mustangs.
What does it mean to be a Mustang?
It means being yourself.
Being supported.
Being surrounded by a community that lifts you up.
This is where it starts.

What happens when a simple idea meets purpose?
Through the Grade 5 Summit, learning comes to life beyond the classroom. With purposeful design, expert insight, and collaboration across divisions, students move beyond assignments to create real impact.
This story is one example. What began as a love of soccer grew into something much bigger, a catalyst for connection, a platform for generosity, and a reminder that joy and purpose often go hand in hand.

Decisions are out, and now comes the question… where will you belong?
We asked our students how they knew they belonged at Mount Vernon.
Their answers say it all.
A community that welcomes you in.
Teachers who truly know and support you.
Friends who make you feel seen, included, and valued.
At Mount Vernon, belonging isn’t something you find later, it starts on day one.

The best part of her day? Being on the field with her team.
For Mollie Martin ’26, softball has always been about joy. The joy of practice. The joy of competing. The joy of being with her teammates. She didn’t always know where the sacrifice and commitment would take her, but she knew she loved the game.
Recruited early in her high school career, Mollie committed as a sophomore to play collegiate softball at Sewanee: The University of the South, becoming one of the youngest Mount Vernon student-athletes to reach this milestone. She found a path that allows her to keep playing the sport she loves, on her own terms.
Her story is one of pure joy in the game, and a reminder that every student deserves the chance to discover what they love and pursue it fully. Right now, many students do not have that opportunity due to limited space.
Through the Let’s Do This campaign, we are working to change that. We are creating the spaces that open more doors, so more students can find their path, their team, and their love of the game.
We are $1M away from the finish line. Help us create more opportunities for students to play, grow, and belong. Link in bio to support Let’s Do This.
As we celebrate Easter, we are reminded of a story rooted in love, grace, and the promise of new life. It is a season that calls us to live with hope, extend kindness, and care deeply for one another.
Wishing our community a peaceful and hope-filled Easter. 💐
It’s Decision Day! 🎉
Today is about more than an answer, it’s the beginning of a journey.
“You should come to Mount Vernon because…”
Our students shared what makes this place special: friendships, support, teachers who see you, and the chance to grow into who you’re meant to be.
To our newest Mustangs, we’re so glad you’re here.
Your journey of purpose starts now.
What does it really mean to learn a language?
Not from a textbook—but by living it.
From navigating daily conversations to building real relationships, Mount Vernon students spent five weeks fully immersed in life in France through the Global Exchange Program. What started with uncertainty turned into confidence, connection, and a whole new perspective on the world.
This is learning you can’t replicate in a classroom. 🇫🇷✨

Hard work. Teamwork. Belonging.
For Liam O’Leary ’24, those lessons started at Mount Vernon and continue today as he competes in tennis at the collegiate level.
His story is a reminder of what’s possible when students have the opportunity to grow, compete, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
We are $1Maway from the finish line. Help us open the door for more students to compete and belong.

From the classroom to the Capitol.
Dr. Schewe’s AP Government students stepped inside Georgia’s Senate, connecting with state leaders and watching the legislative process unfold in real time.
The experience didn’t just bring learning to life, it sparked new questions about how government works, who it serves, and the decisions that shape our communities.
Color. Culture. Connection. 💛
Students across every division came together to celebrate Holi, the vibrant festival of color that honors renewal, joy, and community.
With a special visit from the Kruti Academy Dance Troupe, students explored traditional attire, dance elements, and the meaning behind Holi, brought to life through dynamic performances full of energy and storytelling.
The experience culminated in a joyful Gulal celebration, as students stepped into the tradition firsthand, celebrating together across campus.

What does it mean to truly understand something?
In Grade 7 Science, it means being able to redesign it.
Through a transdisciplinary approach blending science, humanities, and design, students didn’t just learn about cells, they reimagined them. From circuses to iPhones, each analogy revealed a deeper level of thinking, connection, and creativity.
This is what happens when learning moves beyond memorization. Read more at the campus stories link in our bio!

At just 10 years old, Abby Medford (Class of 2031) was already competing alongside older athletes—playing up, leading with confidence, and setting her sights on the @lpga_tour.
That kind of drive doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built through access, opportunity, and belief.
With $1M to go in the Let’s Do This Campaign, we have the chance to create even more pathways for students like Abby.

Her game. Her grit. Her impact.
This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the Mount Vernon women who have competed on world stages, led with purpose, and continue to shape what it means to be an athlete. From Olympians and professionals to coaches and mentors, their stories remind us that athletics are about so much more than the game.
As we near the finish line of the Let’s Do This campaign, these stories highlight why investing in athletics matters for the next generation of Mustangs.

Grade 6 students dove into neuroscience by designing and building their own brain models, exploring how the brain supports learning, memory, and self-regulation. Through this hands-on project, they examined the structure and function of key brain regions and discovered how these systems work together to process information, store experiences, and guide behavior. By connecting these concepts to their own learning habits and emotional responses, students gained a deeper understanding of how the brain influences both academic growth and personal well-being. 🧠✨
Little hands, big creativity. 🧶
Last week, PK3 students explored creativity and collaboration through a hands-on 3D yarn sculpture. As they reached, pulled, and wove strands of yarn, they strengthened fine motor skills and spatial awareness while engaging their senses. What began as simple strands quickly became an interactive work of art shaped by curiosity, imagination, and joyful discovery together. ✨
