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 in 2010, engaging students in real-world, people-centered problem solving. Mount Vernon also offers a number of other intriguing ways for students to try out the planet, such as a unique offering called Interim Term. Traveling through cultural arts trips, national college tours, mission trips, and participating in internships, students broaden their learning experiences past the classroom.

Impacting the broader Atlanta area, Mount Vernon students perform over 10,000 hours of community service each year. Additionally, opportunities around the playing field abound with 90% of scholars playing one or more of the School's 45 teams. Extending the mission of private schools in Atlanta after dark walls of the school, Mount Vernon's Institute for Innovation delivers 21st 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.
