EDUCATION GUIDE
“I have studied Hebrew for three years
to connect with my Jewish roots,
and I am currently in my fifth year of
Spanish. I believe it is important for me
to learn Spanish because it is one of
the most spoken languages worldwide,
and in the future, being bilingual
will be very beneficial in my career.
As the world becomes more closely
connected, it is important to be able to
communicate with people whose first
language is not English. ”
Lauren Rem, The Weber School
“I do study a foreign language - two
actually, German and Spanish. German
I was born with (I lived in Germany for
seven years) and my school allowed me
to continue German from primary to high
school. I picked up Spanish in the eighth
grade as a choice; I was allowed to either
continue Latin or pick Spanish or French.
I believe that foreign languages are
important because they can help people
communicate and immerse themselves in
new cultures.”
Fellpa Schmidt

“My language of study in school is Mandarin Chinese. I chose
to study Chinese because I have always been interested in
Chinese culture and the language itself. Mandarin is such
a unique language, and I’ve always known that I wanted
to explore more into Chinese culture, ever since I went
to China for the first time when I was 6 years old. In my
opinion, Chinese is such a valuable language to learn because
of China’s recent rise in world stature. We have so many
more opportunities to interact with China now, and we will
have even more in the future. So, I think learning Chinese is
becoming one of the most useful languages to know.”

Inquiry is fueled by curiosity and discovery.
When students explore their questions, passions,
and interests in a hands-on, experiential learning
environment, they grasp subject matter on a
deeper level. They make connections that inspire
original ideas. They understand how context and
action impact their world.
Prepared to be college-ready and globally
competitive, Mount Vernon students are the new
generation of innovative thinkers, engaged citizens
and compassionate leaders.
