    From The Miami Valley School

    The Miami Valley School is Dayton's only independent, nonsectarian college preparatory school for grades Pre-K through 12.

    Since its founding in 1964, MVS has been a leader in experience-based education, an approach that is guided by its signature MVS Immersion Method. MVS challenges students to become self-sustaining learners and compassionate global citizens by empowering them to explore their passions in a supportive, diverse learning environment. The results speak for themselves: 100% of MVS graduates attend top colleges, with 94% of the Class of 2022 being accepted at institutions marked "highly competitive" on the Barron's Selectivity Index.

    Visit our campus and learn why students don't just come to MVS. Here, they become.
