The best way to get to know Montgomery Bell Academy is to visit in person. Walking our halls, seeing our students and teachers in action, and experiencing the energy of campus life will give you a true sense of what makes MBA such a special place.

We offer several ways for your family to explore MBA and learn more about our people, programs, and traditions. Our goal is to get to know you—and to give you an authentic view of who we are and what we do.

Parent Coffee & Tours

Our Thursday morning Coffee and Tours are a convenient and informal way to experience campus life. No appointment is needed—simply drop by at 10:00 a.m. on any Thursday during the school year. You’ll enjoy a guided tour while classes are in session and have the opportunity to speak with a member of the Admissions team.

Private Tours

If Thursdays don’t work with your schedule, we are happy to arrange a private tour at a time that’s convenient for your family. To schedule a private visit, please contact Beth Anderson in the Admissions Office at 615-369-5311 or email.

Student Shadow Days

Once you've submitted an inquiry form, your son will be eligible to schedule a Student Shadow Day—an immersive opportunity to see MBA through the eyes of a student. During his visit, he’ll attend classes, meet teachers and students, and experience what it’s like to be part of our school community.
