<strong>New</strong> <strong>Jersey</strong> schools prepare students for long-term success<br />
MORRISTOWN<br />
BEARD SCHOOL<br />
A Place of Possibilities<br />
Ensuring the growth and well-being<br />
of each student has always been the<br />
cornerstone of the philosophy at<br />
Morristown Beard School (MBS),<br />
an independent, co-educational day<br />
school for grades 6 to 12 with an<br />
enrollment of approximately 600<br />
students representing 80-plus communities<br />
in northern <strong>New</strong> <strong>Jersey</strong>.<br />
At MBS, each student is empowered<br />
to discover an intellectual pathway<br />
that excites and inspires them.<br />
Signature academic programs in<br />
Middle School and Upper School offer<br />
students a wide range of options<br />
for learning as well as the support<br />
and structure needed to succeed in<br />
their individual academic journeys.<br />
Balanced with a commitment to experiential<br />
learning and social-emotional<br />
development, these programs<br />
provide a robust learning experience<br />
that engages each student.<br />
“Our excellent academic experience<br />
challenges students in the<br />
classroom, on the stage, on the<br />
fields, and throughout the campus,<br />
and allows them to develop character<br />
and learn to live a balanced life<br />
that promotes wellness,” says Head<br />
of School Liz Morrison.<br />
MBS also encourages students<br />
to become self-reflective and aware<br />
of the needs of others through its<br />
Community Service Program. Every<br />
semester, each student is required to<br />
complete community service hours<br />
and reflections about the experience.<br />
In 2019, the school opened its<br />
Center for Innovation & Design,<br />
where students cultivate essential<br />
skills in critical reasoning, teamwork,<br />
and problem-solving through<br />
hands-on experience.<br />
Students leave Morristown Beard<br />
School well-prepared for the chal-<br />
lenges of college and university<br />
studies. Their skills in analytical<br />
thinking, academic writing, and<br />
time management set them apart,<br />
while the habits of mind they develop<br />
position them for long-term<br />
success.<br />
