Our Identity

Inquiry, Innovation, & Impact

We are Mount Vernon

Students have big ideas. When their teachers really know each individual’s curiosities and passions, the possibilities are limitless. As a co-educational day school for more than 1200 students in Preschool through Grade 12, Mount Vernon is a destination for students who want to design a better world. As the conditions are set for learners to excel in college, career, and citizenship, Mount Vernon understands the formula required for success: a clear and compelling mission, cultural norms inviting people to step outside of their comfort zone, design principles and practices that guide teaching and learning, and six significant mindsets resulting in an impactful experience.
