Our School Motto, “Ad Astra Per Aspera,” can be translated as “To the Stars Through Adversity,” a phrase that captures the essence of the MBS vision. As the most forward-thinking, supportive, and collaborative school in the region, we embrace and meet the challenges of a 21st-century education.

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?”

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
Arts
A Place of Possibilities

We believe in the power of the arts, and encourage all students to participate in the many offerings available – no experience required!

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”

Student Life
Well-Rounded

Morristown Beard School offers a universe of opportunities: academic, artistic, and athletic; curricular and co-curricular. Even more important, we guide and encourage every student to pursue them all.

As part of its ongoing efforts to protect the community, Morristown-Beard School started weekly saliva-based testing this week. Thanks to all members of the community for helping to make the first collection on December 1st run so smoothly!

“It went really well. Everyone was in great spirits and happy to do their part to support the School and keep us safe,” said Associate Head of School Darren Burns. “We have continued to add and adopt new protocols and procedures to keep our community safe and connected on campus. Pool testing is the latest version of this charge.”

Mr. Burns also noted that the collection was a real community effort as various departments, including Tech, Buildings & Grounds, Security, Nursing, and other staff members went above and beyond to make this a successful endeavor.

The School took in more than 700 samples on December 1. All tests have been collected and sent to the lab. We hope to have results no later than the weekend. Please note that you will not be receiving a notification for negative test results.

Our next collection day will be Friday, December 11. Test kits will be distributed on Thursday, December 10.
