Learning is amplified through real-world problem-solving, creating limitless possibilities for meaningful impact.

We are designing a better world...right now.

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.
Today we reflect on the journey from enslavement to freedom and recognize the strength and perseverance of the African American community. Let’s continue to educate, uplift, and advocate for equality. #Juneteenth #CelebrateFreedom
