One powerful way Mount Vernon amplifies learning is thru design thinking. Like a partner of Stanford's d.School, MVPS opened the Center for Design Thinking this season, engaging students in real-world, people-centered problem-solving. Mount Vernon offers many intriguing techniques for students to experience the globe, with a unique offering called Interim Term. Traveling through cultural arts trips, national college tours, mission trips, and taking part in internships, students broaden their learning experiences past the classroom.

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