Visit MVS
Our campus is an experience you need to see in person. Our doors are open. Come by and see what we are up to.
At The Miami Valley School, we are independent in both our teaching and learning, as well as in our thinking and doing. For almost 60 years, our students have enjoyed the freedom to explore their world in a community that encourages them to discover how to express themselves. Although we support challenging academics built on a foundation of integrity and grit, teachers here do more than prepare students to score well on a standardized test someday. They empower students to do their best academically and to be their best selves personally – to discover their true passion and purpose, and to responsibly pursue it with compassion and intellectual excellence.

Both concerts start at 7:00 p.m., with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. for Art Hop gallery shows, showcasing student work in visual arts. Check our event calendar for more information!

Immersive experiences for EC-12th

Students are empowered to explore their individual passions and encouraged to make an impact on the world around them.

The makeup of our student body reflects the diversity of the Dayton area, with students hailing from 51 local ZIP codes as well as 7 foreign countries. 49% of MVS students identify as students of color, and 49% receive need or merit-based financial aid. With a multitude of sports offerings, dozens of school clubs, and the ability to create your own student organization, your child will find a place at MVS.
Learn MoreImmersive education means learning in the real world and tackling real-world problems at all age levels. Whether students are practicing their engineering skills in the MVS Makerspace, writing new code in the robotics lab, planting seeds in the Zorniger Environmental Laboratory, or putting the finishing touches on a track in the MVS recording studio, you can be sure of one thing: they’re getting hands-on. At MVS, our students learn to ask great questions and seek better answers.
Learn MoreParents choose MVS because of the safe and secure environment it provides for students to connect, explore, and grow, both inside and outside of the classroom. Through a robust school counseling program, comprehensive Advisory program, and specific coursework designed to educate students about physical and mental health, students at MVS become well-rounded and self-actualized young people.

We practice integrity in all that we do to build an environment of honesty, honor, and trust that affirms the dignity of our work and of our fellow human beings. We celebrate individuality, encourage acceptance and open-mindedness, nurture diversity, and ensure equality for all. We demonstrate grit, both in and out of the classroom, as we persevere, move forward, and pursue our goals. We practice kindness, and treat ourselves and others with empathy and compassion.
Learn MoreThe challenge of school visioning requires courage, talent, and grace. Throughout the 2020-2021 school year, representatives of all constituencies of the MVS community worked to prepare the school’s new strategic plan, which will guide and enrich The Miami Valley School for the next five years. We are proud to make their work visible with the launch of Elevate the Vision, a title that honors our previous strategic plan and identifies the work to come. We invite you to consider how you might contribute in bringing this plan to fruition.
“The work of education requires boldness and bravery. It is the most rewarding work in the world.”
