Deeper Learning happens at the intersection of curiosity, passion, and relationships.

Our teachers are designing learning experiences with and for our students that connect foundational skills to real-world opportunities and future possibilities. We believe children have big ideas, and when teachers truly understand the curiosities and passions of their students, incredible things can happen.

“My daughter started in 2nd grade, and it was as though her light switch flipped on. She became another kid and started absolutely loving school. What strikes me about Mount Vernon is that it is all about the students and how they can be engaged in their learning and pushed to achieve.

I see correlations between what they are doing and what the universities I attended are doing, and that really excites me. Last but not least the school community itself is wonderful between the school leadership, teacher, parents, and students. We love our school!!”
