Montgomery Bell Academy

A School Designed for Boys

As Middle Tennessee’s only boys’ school, MBA is a place where a boy’s academic, extracurricular, and emotional needs are the priority. Learning is most productive in an environment where friendships thrive; where students are more inclined to take risks by pursuing a wide range of interests; and where teachers understand how boys learn. MBA has the ability to integrate the curriculum in such a way as to make students as comfortable with poetry as they are with physics. Choosing themes to which boys respond – courage, adventure, risk-taking, honor, and a sense of duty – is an effective approach to enhance learning and communication. MBA takes advantage of the opportunity to structure and present course materials designed to meet the unique learning requirements of our young men.
