Why Morristown Beard School?

Darren Lovelock

English, Professional Growth Coordinator

"One reason I like working at MBS is that more than any other school I've worked at (and this is #5), the teachers here are sincerely interested in nurturing growth in ALL their students.  They know that every student in our room--from the high-flier to those who are struggling--deserves to grow. And it's up to us to devise ways to bring each one of them along.  It's not easy, and we're not perfect, but the "student-centeredness" spoken of so regularly in education right now is more apparent at MBS than anywhere else I've worked." 

Sara Chuang

Science Faculty

"I appreciate that MBS is a community that focuses on a student's unique journey. The emphasis on individualized learning and personal best allows me, as a teacher, to create a classroom environment where students are comfortable being challenged."

 

Rose Costanzo

Mathematics Faculty

"What I have appreciated the most at MBS is the support that I am consistently given from the entire community. My department is extremely helpful and collaborative, the administration is encouraging, and the students are thankful and excited to be at the school. I am grateful to be at MBS."

Tahj Valentine

Associate Director of DEIB

"Morristown Beard School has given me the ability as an alumnus to help teach, inspire, and encourage younger generations to think creatively in their journey to find academic and extracurricular success while being leaders in the MBS community."

Rebecca Van Horn

History and Social Sciences Chair

"I love that the MBS faculty enthusiastically pursues collaboration. Sometimes that collaboration manifests in ways that students can recognize, like in the case of co-teaching, while it occurs at other times behind the scenes when teachers share tips on lesson planning or project creation. In every case, this collaboration creates a special environment in which teachers build trust and camaraderie while modeling team-minded habits we want our students to develop." 

Kenneth Tousignant

Middle School Mathematics

"Morristown Beard provides me the space to be fully myself and incorporate my own personality into the classroom, which in turn allows my students to feel more comfortable displaying their true personalities."

Michael McGrann

World Languages
Associate Director of Curriculum
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging Coordinator

"The aspect of Morristown Beard that I most appreciate is that we are always thinking and talking about teaching–how to be better teachers and how to engage our students more authentically."

Alonda Casselle

Head of Middle School

"I've loved the community. Everyone is so welcoming and open to helping make this year a great school year for our students. It's nice to be at a place that values a balanced school program. It's also great to see the balance actually play out when I observe the children in their core academic classes, electives, and leadership classes."

Jen Laviola

World Languages Chair

"MBS is a learning community in which teachers have the possibility to continue learning and growing as educators and thinkers. Our faculty is composed of curious minds who seek opportunities to share ideas with one another. Whether it's a discussion of literature, philosophy, art, or even theoretical physics, I have found someone on campus eager to discuss and engage. Quite simply, it's a vibrant community of thinkers, and I'm happy to be a part of it."
