Where does knowledge meet maximum impact?
At Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon is an independent school serving over 1250 students from Preschool through Grade 12. Mount Vernon School is a community where curiosity is cultivated, multiple perspectives are valued, and prototypes are built and iterated until mastery is achieved. Learning is amplified through real-world problem-solving, creating limitless possibilities for meaningful impact.
Mission
We are a school of inquiry, innovation, and impact. Grounded in Christian values, we prepare all students to be college ready, globally competitive, and engaged citizen leaders.
We are designing a better world...right now.
Approach
We design relevant, transformational curricular and learning competencies from Preschool through Upper School, explored through an inquiry-based approach and assessed on levels of proficiency.
Commitment
We commit to creating and sustaining a school culture where all members feel valued and safe, sharing their authentic selves to design a better world…together.
A PURPOSEFUL JOURNEY
The journey for all students to become college ready, globally competitive, and engaged citizen leaders begins in Preschool and continues through Grade 12. Along the journey, we build foundational literacies, skills, attributes, and meaningful relationships.
Mount Vernon Mantras
At Mount Vernon, our Mantras reflect the conditioning and fuel required for sustained growth, performance, and accountability over time. They are the behaviors that thrive in this culture. Remaining committed to utilizing these Mantras allows us to design an incredible future together.
This Fourth of July, as our nation marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we reflect on the American experiment — bold, imperfect, evolving, and still being shaped by each generation.
At Mount Vernon, we believe the future is something we help design together. May this milestone invite us to look back with honesty, look around with gratitude, and look ahead with purpose as we continue the work of building a better world.
AMP Camp explored the wonders of Asia through hands-on creativity, culture, movement, and fun.
Campers made Chinese paper lanterns, origami boats, cherry blossom trees, paper sushi, Asian-inspired scarves, and mini volcanoes. They learned greetings in Korean and Chinese, explored the Great Wall of China and Silk Road, played games from across Asia, and enjoyed recreation time with Soccer Shots, Coach Powell, and friends.
From campus activities to expeditions at the @centerforpuppetryarts and @tablaatlanta, our campers created, connected, discovered, and made so many joyful summer memories together.

The dog days of summer have officially arrived. ☀️🐾
In honor of the summer solstice, we’re sharing a few four-legged friends from our Mount Vernon faculty and staff families.
Swipe through for a little summer joy and some very good dogs 💙
To the dads, grandfathers, and father figures who show up, step in, and support in big and small ways — thank you.
The impact of your presence, guidance, and encouragement is felt every day.
Happy Father’s Day to all our Mount Vernon dads and families 💙
Today, we celebrate a day of freedom.
Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not only declared; it must be delivered, protected, and experienced. As a learning community, we pause to remember the history of this day and ask: What does freedom require? Whose stories have shaped our country? How do we carry history forward with honesty, courage, and care?
We honor the resilience, joy, and contributions of Black Americans and continue the work to recommit a more just and human-centered future.
This Memorial Day, we honor those who served by empowering students to serve with purpose.
As part of a new service learning pilot, Grade 3 students chose to give up their recess to partner with residents at MV Village. After learning about the significance of Memorial Day and residents’ love of poppies, students stepped in to design and lead a holiday-themed arts and crafts experience from the ground up.
From creating puzzles, poppies, and flags to supporting residents one-on-one, students led with empathy, creativity, and heart.
Most inspiring of all? They’re already imagining what comes next — hoping to build an ongoing partnership and continue serving their neighbors with their whole hearts.

That’s a wrap on the 2025–2026 school year 🎉 Happy last day of school, Mustangs!
What a year it has been. From celebrations and performances to competitions, showcases, expeditions, and everyday moments of joy and growth, this community made it unforgettable.
Wishing all of our students, families, faculty, and staff a fun, restful, and well-deserved summer. See you in August 💙
The Lower School Activities Hall has been completely transformed by our Grade 5 students into an immersive celebration of creativity, collaboration, and student agency. 🎨✨
From wearable art and oversized installations to filmmaking, sound design, set creation, and storytelling, students led every part of this one-of-a-kind fashion and design experience. Working in fashion houses and production teams, they brought bold ideas to life while navigating collaboration, problem-solving, and creative risk-taking together.
More than an art installation, this project became a powerful glimpse into what students can accomplish when given trust, independence, and the space to create with purpose.

There’s a unique energy on campus this time of year. As we head into the final week of school, the days are filled with moments of joy, celebration, reflection, and plenty of excitement for what’s still to come.
From Field Day and Arts Showcases to MVees, Baccalaureate rehearsals, and the Senior Salute Parade, these traditions bring our community together in such meaningful ways.
They remind us that Mount Vernon is more than a place students attend. It’s a community built through shared experiences, lasting connections, and the everyday moments that students, families, and faculty create together.
One more week to celebrate all that this year has been. 💙
To the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who show up with love, encouragement, and care every single day — thank you.
Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mount Vernon moms and families.

What happens when you turn a school day into a canvas?
Last Friday, our Lower School stepped into Arts in Action Day, a full-day experience designed to move beyond performance and into process. From rhythm and movement to design, storytelling, and hands-on creation, students explored what it means to see themselves as artists.
Through time with visiting artists and immersive sessions, creativity became a way to connect, express, and make meaning.

Our Lower School celebrated Earth Day with curiosity, care, and action, from hearing from our Tree Club founding members to getting their hands in the soil planting seedlings to take home. A special thank you to @smurfitwestrockcompany for partnering with us in this meaningful experience.
Because when students connect to the world around them, lasting impact begins.
