Families looking for a top-tier education in a thriving, innovative school district now have the opportunity to apply for out-of-district enrollment at Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation for the 2025-2026 school year.

With growing enrollment and expanded facilities, including reopening the Mt. Vernon Intermediate School opening this fall and a brand-new Fortville Elementary School on the horizon, MVCSC is excited to welcome new students into its dynamic learning environment.

All students who live out-of-district and are interested in attending or are currently attending a Mt. Vernon school are required to submit an application during the application window to attend a Mt. Vernon school during the 2025-2026 school year. If you live in any MVCSC enrollment area, you do NOT need to complete this application.

For families that are new to Mt. Vernon and do not have any students currently enrolled, the Mini-Marauder Preschool is the only building that will be closed. With the transition of fifth grade (from the elementary schools) and sixth grade (from the middle school) to the new intermediate school opening this fall, additional capacity has been created in our K-8 buildings.

• Pre-school children of new Mt. Vernon families will not be accepted. (A "new Mt. Vernon family" is defined as a family with zero children/step-children attending a Mt. Vernon school during this current 2024-2025 school year.) 
• If you currently have any children or step-children in your family attending Mt. Vernon in the 2024-2025 school year, this Mini-Marauder Preschool closure does not apply to you. 

As Superintendent Dr. Parker has previously shared, once you are a Mt. Vernon student/family, those students who apply (and their siblings/step-siblings) will remain part of the Mt. Vernon family, unless the student has major discipline or attendance issues.

The 2025-2026 Out-of-District/Transfer Student Application will be live HERE between:

Noon on Friday, April 18 through Noon on Monday, May 19

Parents/guardians will need to complete a separate application for each student who currently lives outside the school district or who anticipates moving out of the district before the 2025-2026 school year begins.

By completing the application you are entering the student into the out-of-district/transfer pool and requesting to attend Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation during the 2025-2026 school year. This does not guarantee enrollment, but priority will be given to current out-of-district/transfer students, their siblings/step-siblings, as well as employees' children.  All applicants will receive notice by Friday, May 23, 2025.

GUIDELINES FOR ALL OUT-OF-DISTRICT/TRANSFER APPLICATIONS:

1. All applications must be submitted online and before the final deadline of Monday, May 19 at noon.
2. Applications are only for one school year, must be filled out for each child, and must be re-submitted each year.
3. All applications will be date/time stamped upon submission, processed in the order in which they are received, and considered on a case-by-case basis.
4. A "new Mt. Vernon family" is defined as a family with zero children or step-children currently attending a Mt. Vernon school.
5. Employees' children and current out-of-district/transfer students (and their siblings/step-siblings) will have priority when reviewing applications.
6. If you live in one elementary school region and wish to attend a different elementary school, you do not need to fill out the application but rather email both elementary school principals and make this request for their consideration.
7. Out-of-district/transfer Mini-Marauder Preschool students who are either returning or are siblings of a current Mt. Vernon student also need to fill out the application.
8. Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is accepting out-of-district/transfer students for the upcoming school year as adopted by Corporation Policy C125.
