One powerful way Mount Vernon amplifies learning is through design thinking. As a partner of Stanford's d.School, MVPS opened the guts for Design Thinking in 2010, engaging students in real-world, people-centered problem-solving. Mount Vernon also provides a number of other intriguing techniques for students to see the entire world, 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 over 10,000 hours of community service each and every year. Additionally, opportunities about the stage abound with 90% of students taking part in one or more 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 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.
