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?”

MBS Alumna Olivia Land
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
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.

Middle School Ski Club Hits the Slopes at Shawnee Mountain

Jan 9 2023

Last Friday, the MBS Middle School Ski and Snowboard Club hit the slopes at Shawnee Mountain for the first time this winter. Once again, the club is extremely popular — we have exactly 100 students participating!

The club enjoys a long tradition in the MBS Middle School and is geared toward both beginner and experienced skiers and snowboarders. Above all, it’s a great way for students to get together outside of class, have fun, and build camaraderie.

Upcoming ski club trips will be held on the following Fridays:

January 13
January 20
January 27
February 3

Any questions regarding Middle School Ski and Snowboard Club may be directed to Lisa Swanson, Middle School Dean, at lswanson@mbs.net.
