THE MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL
The Mount Vernon School is 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.
Established in 1972, Mount Vernon, located on 47 acres in the heart of Sandy Springs, serves children in Preschool through Grade 12.
We believe that children have big ideas and when teachers really know their students’ curiosities and passions, incredible things happen. At Mount Vernon, learning is amplified through real-world problem solving and we know that school can and should be fun. As we continue to set the conditions for learners to excel in college, career, and citizenship, Mount Vernon understands what the chemistry of a great school requires: 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.
Anchored in Christian values - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - relationships at Mount Vernon are foundational to learning. Preparing students to be college ready, globally competitive and engaged citizen leaders calls us to lean in to inclusion, diversity, equity, and action.
“We are Mount Vernon. We are not just a place. We are not just a school. We are a community, pursued by teachers and leaders, by kids and adults of all levels, shapes, and sizes. We are a community where everybody is a friend to everybody, and we are assisted to exceed. We are a community. We are Mount Vernon. We are better together.” Ella, Class of 2028
