The School

Mount Vernon Christian School was established in 1951 by parents who desired to offer a K-8 Christian day-school in the Skagit Valley. After gradual growth and expansion of facilities, MVC welcomed the first High School class beginning in 1983. In August of 2008, a new High School facility was completed and included classroom space for 200 students and a gymnasium that accommodates more than 1,000 people. MVC’s facilities currently occupy 30 acres of land in south Mount Vernon.

The Mission

Mount Vernon Christian, committed to education based on the infallible Word of God, seeks to serve God by preparing students to respond in loving service to God and their neighbors.

As an extension of the Christian home, we assist parents in nurturing their children in the knowledge of the Lord and of His creation, thereby equipping students to embrace biblical values while being Christ’s agents of renewal in the world.
