Powerfully Prepared for Learning and for Life

“Where else but MBS, where the curriculum gives students ownership over their education both in and out of the classroom, could my peers and I have received a better tutorial on the balance between dreaming and doing?”

Academics
Academic Innovation

“At MBS, we have been taught that it is okay to question material and to come to our own conclusions, rather than just consuming others’ opinions. Our classrooms are places where students and teachers alike come out enlightened with new perspectives, challenged to think more, think harder and think differently.”

MBS Alumna Leah Seldin

Glass and Metal Design Work on Display in Math & Science Center

Feb 2 2023

Colorful and creative student pieces from Jeanine Erickson’s Glass Design, Jewelry Design, and Metal Design classes are currently on display in the illuminated case outside of the Phoebe Stiles King ’49 Gallery in the Math & Science Center.

All of the pieces — from intricate rings and earrings to ornate candle shelters — were created by students in the School’s Artisan Design Studio in the Center for Innovation & Design (CID).

“I am so very proud of the significant progress these students have made in the design and technical realm since September!” said Ms. Erickson.

The students’ work will be on display for the next two weeks. Please stop by and enjoy!
