Be a part of the family

At Mount Vernon, we believe that relationships are foundational to establishing a love of learning and that when teachers truly know and understand their students’ curiosities and passions, incredible things can happen. Our Admissions Team is eager to connect with you and guide you on a journey of exploring all that Mount Vernon has to offer.

All parents want the best for their children. We realize the journey to find the ideal school can be an overwhelming process and we invite you to utilize our Family Guide To Discovering Your Child’s Ideal Education Experience. This guide utilizes the School’s design thinking approach and makes your school search process more interactive. We look forward to learning your story and sharing Mount Vernon with you.
