The Mount Vernon School has been innovating education from Preschool to Grade 12 since 1972. One powerful way Mount Vernon amplifies learning is through design thinking. As a partner of Stanford’s d.School, MVPS opened the Center for Design Thinking in 2010, engaging students in real-world, people-centered problem solving. Mount Vernon also offers several other intriguing ways for students to experience the world, including a unique offering called Interim Term. Traveling through cultural arts trips, national college tours, mission trips, and participating in internships, students broaden their learning experiences beyond the classroom.
