MVS was academically challenging, but it made me a better thinker as a result. As a graduate, one thing I value the most about my time at MVS is the diverse community...it really made me prepared to interact with all kinds of people in college, and my connection with my classmates is special.

Compared to my previous school, The Miami Valley School has been a reality check—not in a negative sense, but because I've finally been challenged in the classroom after a long time. My time here has transformed me intellectually, thanks to the diversity of my classmates, teachers, and experiences. I truly believe in our school motto, "Here you become." MVS offers a supportive, tight-knit community that feels like a family.
