The Independent Curriculum Group endorses MVS’ work
as a leader in education.
“The national buzz is out there that The Miami Valley School is up to good things: taking a new approach to education based on what we now know about how kids’ brains actually learn. At MVS teachers are designing a curriculum that is not only focused on understanding but also on making things stick. Through the Immersion Method, they are connecting classroom experiences to real-world challenges and opportunities that matter to kids. The learning is serious.”
Peter Gow, Independent Curriculum Group

“The community that The Miami Valley School fosters, is one not only of racial and religious diversity, but also of diversity in beliefs, ideals, and thought. MVS is a community of inclusion.”
Joshua Segelawitz, Class of 2016
As new parents, we knew we had chosen the right place for our children when our third grade daughter was reading Shakespeare, taking multiple immersive field trips, and singing Hindi in the shower – all in the first few months of attending MVS!

Why should you give?
Our school relies on the generosity of parents and alumni. Their time and funds invested in the school help secure donations from outside sources.
As an educator in independent schools for thirty years, it was clear to me immediately that the joy in learning at MVS is deeply embedded in the culture of the school.”
Elizabeth F. Cleary, Head of School
