“Mount Vernon is my first teaching job, and I’m so grateful to work at a school that believes in me, invests in me, challenges me, and supports me.”

-Emily Wilcox, Upper School Faculty

“One of the reasons I love working at Mount Vernon is we are charged to lean into our students’ questions and wonders.  This spirit of inquiry has led to countless expeditions, meetings with external experts, and projects that make a meaningful impact.”

– David Ayers, Middle School Administrator

“I’ve taught at Mount Vernon for 14 years. It’s great to see when a student works hard to understand a concept and then it clicks and the application makes sense.  As a parent to two boys at Mount Vernon, there’s no better feeling than seeing them thrive in an environment that allows them to explore and expand upon their wonders. #ilovemyschool”

– David Song, Middle School Faculty

 “As soon as I enter the doors of the MV preschool I have arrived at my home away from home.  Each day is filled with love, support, and learning from faculty, staff and children.”

– Terrika Mays, Preschool Administrator

“I was drawn in to Mount Vernon by #fuse16, and the promise that learning a more innovative, empathy-fueled way with students would be the journey of a lifetime. It still is – and sharing it with people I can now call colleagues and friends makes the work urgent and joyful.”

– Kevin Day, Middle School Faculty

“I love working at Mount Vernon because I spend every day embracing the many talents of my students, and teaching them in innovative ways, incorporating play, art, and inquiry into each day.”
