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 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. 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. They empower students to do their best academically as well as to be their best selves personally – to discover their true passion and purpose, and to responsibly pursue it with compassion and intellectual excellence.
Our campus is open for in-person tours with the MVS Admissions Team. Click to schedule your individualized campus tour today or take a virtual tour on our website.

The MVS Immersion Method reflects our shared beliefs about the best practices of education, founded on the principles of deep student experience and tailored to meet the needs of the individual learner. Students are empowered to explore their individual passions and encouraged to make an impact on the world around them.
Learn MoreStudents at MVS are deeply involved in serving their community. In the upper school, the student-led MVS Student Service Board and Student Government work to organize philanthropic and service-based activities throughout the school year, and all MVS upper schoolers must complete a community service requirement in order to graduate. In the middle school, advisory groups often adopt an organization or cause to support throughout the year, with recent programs benefiting St. Vincent de Paul and Heifer International.

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.”
