Mount Vernon Academy is a hidden gem. Class sizes are kept small so that students are not forgotten or left behind. The year is full of fun, learning-filled activities for students of all ages (field trips, dances, sports, clubs...). MVA holds true to good values and treats everyone like family. Students are able to interact with peers from many different backgrounds and participate in sports. We love Mount Vernon!

Mount Vernon is an amazing hidden gem! After rigorous searches for a well rounded school for our son, Mount Vernon Academy was our answer. Not only the classes are small, the curriculum pushes the student to learn at a higher academic level. Everyone is friendly, feels like your kid is part of an educational family and not just a number in the ratings. I am a professor and I seek for excellence, this school met my expectations for my son.

Mount Vernon is a wonderful place to learn. We couldn't be happier to have our daughter be a part of this stellar learning community. Class sizes are small, tuition is beyond reasonable, the teachers are able to give the students the attention they need. Mount Vernon was an answer to our academic needs that we never thought we''d find. We are so grateful for their services!
