History of MVSThe Miami Valley School is Dayton's only independent, college-preparatory school. Located on land donated by the Mead family, its program reflects the vision of those who established the school in 1964. These men and women sought an educational environment where students could mature and learn in an atmosphere that fostered diversity, promoted excellence, and established habits for lifelong learning. Today, approximately 500 students from early childhood through grade 12 respond to a challenging curriculum and individual attention that a student-teacher ratio of 9:1 provides. Approximately 175 students in grades nine through twelve are enrolled in a college preparatory program staffed by 25 faculty members, 23 of whom hold master's degrees and two of whom hold Ph.Ds. The student population represents 16 communities within a 35-mile radius. |
