Academically, we love the approach to learning and assessment. Teachers give detailed feedback and assess with a rubric. Students know what’s expected in advance. Our oldest (who can be an overachiever) keeps working to achieve the "advanced" description. Our youngest (who can be comfortable doing the minimum) can see how to keep working and stretch. From a community standpoint, we love that MV values diversity of thought, backgrounds, and experiences. Our children are learning to find connections and celebrate differences. Lastly, we love the school norms: start with questions, assume the best, share the well, fail up, and have FUN! In February we were away for a long weekend with another family who attends a school out of town. Their children’s holiday was one day longer than ours and we had to leave early. We thought our children would be upset to miss a day of the trip and were shocked when our youngest responded, “honestly, it’s really okay, I actually like school.” Thank you MV!

From the moment we visited MV and heard Dr. Jacobsen share his vision for our children’s educational journey, the school’s philosophies, and their commitment to preparing students to be college-ready and well-positioned for the jobs of the future, we knew we were destined to become Mustangs! The “MV mindset” encourages children to be children--allowing them to individually learn through inquiry. MV makes learning relevant for their students through collaborative learning and individual-based projects. The staff challenges the students by teaching them not only what to learn but how to learn. We have witnessed our kids thriving as a result of smaller classroom sizes, teacher and staff accessibility, and MV’s very hands-on approach to children’s individual learning styles and skillsets! What we love the most about MV is their goal to educationally prepare their students, but they are equally as committed to ensuring their students become good, community-minded citizens.

We're starting our third year at Mount Vernon and could not be happier! My kids are thriving both academically and socially. The intentionality at MV around not only cultivating a learner, but in cultivating the whole child is exceptional. My children (both in lower school) are so confident and inquisitive, and I credit so much of that to the environment at MV. All of the teachers have had a huge impact on my children. We are so grateful to be a part of this community!
