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

Laser Show Helps Middle School Kick Off Black History Month

Jan 31 2024

At Middle School Meeting on Wednesday, students enjoyed a Black History Laser Tribute — a dazzling visual and musical celebration of African Americans’ contributions to our nation’s history. The show, hosted by the Office of DEIB, transported students through time as a laser light show entertained and educated them with vivid animations set to a rocking soundtrack.

The laser show celebrated African American icons, including civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, singer Aretha Franklin, and scientist George Washington Carver. The students witnessed historic events, such as the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech.

Showcasing advanced laser technology, this inspiring school assembly had everyone singing along with African American musical legends.
