Discover MVPS

“When I’m on the Frontier, I wonder what bugs I can find. I collect them. I wonder what that bug is, what it does – does it crawl or fly, I wonder if it has a family, where it has been. Then I put them back in the woods, in a group, so they can stay friends.”

“This is what it all comes down to. This is when you separate the good from the average. The people who want it more. The fight. Show them why you’re a Mustang. Today is the day we show them what we’ve got.”

“We’re much more unique than just being the School’s only set of triplets. Aqil is the Ethical Decision-Maker and Innovator. Alma is the Creative Thinker. I [Anusha] am the Communicator. The three of us are so different, but MVPS has helped each of us prepare for the future.”

“I believe we are all searching for a full life. As I direct Spiritual Life, I am deeply inspired by the biblical idea of shalom, which refers to a universal peace, wholeness, and flourishing on earth. This picture of vibrant life for all of God’s creation is not only hopeful but a vision to be pursued.”

“I do karate, and I have a purple belt. Karate helps me focus on my work at school. I learned I have to keep doing something even if I don’t want to. If I fall down, I have have to get back up, quickly – that’s when I become stronger.”

“While I act in plays, participate in athletics, and play multiple instruments, last year I started Mount Vernon Robotics. We are currently building a 3D printed full-size humanoid torso, and we are engineering all of the motors and sensors. It’s my last year here, so I want to push the team to see how far we can go.”

“I’m a counselor at a camp for young boys with special needs. I’ve been working there for about a year and a half, after school and on Saturdays. I enjoy making connections, and while it’s a big commitment, and it takes some patience, I really care about them.”

“Every day faculty and staff make a commitment to position each of our children for their future by designing deep learning experiences. Instead of waiting to press the start button when they enter college, beginning in Preschool, Mount Vernon students are being taught to contribute in a real-world context.”

“In spite of being born with an impairment limiting my vision, I have been able to accomplish so much and surpass what I ever thought I could do. My challenges have taught me dedication, and discipline, preparing me for my future. One of which was to play football for University of Miami, and I did it!”
