According to an old saying, sometimes attributed to Napolean Bonaparte, "A picture is worth a thousand words." If a picture is worth a thousand words, the Mountainville Academy emblem represents the first visual conversation people will engage in when being introduced to the school. As a visual method of communication, the emblem illustrates to the public the school’s identity, and expresses the character, philosophy, and basic principles of the school with its symbols.
