Beyond the Classroom

Mission: The MBS Global Studies Program is committed to fostering a community of globally-minded individuals by empowering students with diverse and enriching global experiences. Through immersive learning and meaningful community-building opportunities, we aim to ignite curiosity, nurture compassion, and instill a sense of responsibility in every student. Our mission is to cultivate well-rounded, thoughtful citizens of the world, who are equipped to navigate the complexities of our interconnected global society with understanding, empathy, and a commitment to positive change

Discover the World with Morristown Beard School!

Our faculty-led spring and summer trips give students the opportunity to broaden their perspectives, engage meaningfully with different cultures, and deepen their learning beyond the classroom. Whether traveling abroad or exploring within the United States, MBS students travel with purpose, learn through experience, and return with a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Semester/Year Abroad Information

The School offers a total of four tuition/fee waivers. These waivers are prorated for the portion of the year that a student will be away from campus and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The School cannot guarantee that a student who is accepted to a study abroad program will be granted a tuition/fee waiver, therefore it is imperative that families communicate with the School throughout the process.

Seniors are not eligible to participate in study abroad programs. The School believes that senior year is a culminating experience for our students, providing unique social and educational opportunities throughout the year. Because of this, seniors are expected to complete the entirety of the year on campus.

Interested students should fill out the Study Abroad Interest Form. Please refer to the Family Handbook for additional information on policies and procedures related to the MBS Study Abroad Program.
