Mount Vernon takes $4 off daytime admission for teachers who verify through ID.me. With a $30 adult ticket, that comes to $26, and you claim it online at checkout through the estate’s ID.me discounts page.
If you’re a teacher heading to the Washington, D.C. area on your own time, this is a short setup with one step to do before you buy: your ID.me account has to exist first. Here’s the order of things, what the page says about who qualifies, and what school groups pay, which is a separate price list.
How To Get The Mount Vernon Teacher Discount
The page says you must be registered with ID.me to redeem the discount, so create or sign in to that account before you shop. Then buy your tickets online. During checkout you’ll be prompted to log in to ID.me, and once you’re verified, the page says you’ll be redirected back to the Mount Vernon website.
If your status doesn’t clear within minutes, the page says to reach out to ID.me customer service. It also says this discount can’t be combined with other discount offers.
Who Qualifies
The page lists “Teachers” under “Persons Eligible for Admission Discount,” alongside several military categories, and it doesn’t define the word. ID.me runs the check, so your teacher status has to be something ID.me can verify.
What Everyone Else Pays
General admission is $30 for adults ages 12 and up, $16 for youth ages 6 to 11, and free for children ages 0 to 5. Mount Vernon members receive free daytime admission.
Bringing A Class
School groups are on a different price list. The group reservations page lists student group admission at $15 per guest, and chaperones, at one adult per 10 students, pay $15 too, so a chaperone isn’t free. A licensed tour operator and a bus driver, one of each per bus, are complimentary. Adult groups of 20 or more pay $25 per guest.
The page also says qualified local Title One schools in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia that register for the special student programs receive a 50% discount on student admission. Ask about it during registration if your school fits.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
ID.me’s own Mount Vernon teacher page says it isn’t aware that Mount Vernon offers Teachers discounts, which doesn’t match the estate’s page. We went with the estate’s page, since it’s Mount Vernon’s own offer, and if the ID.me step doesn’t show a teacher option, ask the estate before you pay.
The page doesn’t say how many tickets one teacher can discount, whether the $4 applies to youth tickets, whether it works on a group booking, or what kind of school job ID.me accepts. It lists no end date for the offer.
