About MVS
Every student is unique.
So why are so many schools exactly the same? One isn't. At The Miami Valley School, we’re independent in our teaching and learning, and in our thinking and doing. For 50 years, our students have enjoyed the freedom to explore their world, in a community that encourages them to discover how to express themselves in it. It’s why students don’t just come to The Miami Valley School. Here, they become.
