Independent schools are private, pre-collegiate learning institutions, each with a unique mission. They are nonprofit institutions governed by independent boards of trustees and funded through tuition, charitable contributions, and endowment income. Independent schools uphold high standards of educational quality and are publicly accountable to parents, communities, and the agencies that accredit them.

The quality of the educational experience is one of the leading reasons that families select independent schools. Described by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the U.S. Department of Education conducted the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS), and confirmed that larger percentages of students in independent schools are enrolled in advanced courses than in public, parochial, and other private schools. NAIS students do twice as much homework as their counterparts, watch only two-thirds as much television, are significantly more likely to participate in varsity or intramural sports, and are more likely to agree that students and teachers get along well, discipline is fair, and teaching is good.

In the past two years, 81 MVCDS graduates have attended 53 different four year colleges throughout the country. Students matriculate at a range of schools: large, public universities like University of Michigan, Ohio State University, and Indiana University; small, private colleges like Williams College, Kenyon College, and Claremont McKenna College; and everything in between. Many students attend very selective colleges like Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, and so on, and some students choose to apply to and attend colleges that have a certain program, major, athletic team, or location that appeals to them in particular.
