One powerful way Mount Vernon amplifies learning is via 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 other intriguing ways for students to experience the world, together with a unique offering called Interim Term. Traveling through cultural arts trips, national college tours, mission trips, and playing internships, students broaden their learning experiences past the classroom.

Impacting the broader Atlanta area, Mount Vernon students perform greater than 10,000 hours of community service each year. Additionally, opportunities around the playing field abound with 90% of students participating in a number of the School's 45 teams. Extending the mission of Atlanta private schools beyond the walls of the school, Mount Vernon's Institute for Innovation delivers Twenty-first century teaching and learning to local and global communities. Through professional learning workshops, international exchange opportunities, and repair and outreach, the Institute builds effective public-private partnerships that promote inquiry, innovation and impact.
