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. Please register for an upcoming tour (Thursdays at 10 a.m.) where you’ll experience campus life first hand 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.
Admission Preview Day
Admission Preview Day is set for Sunday, Oct. 25, from 2 to 4:30 p.m., with registration beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the Burkholder Wellness Center. Prospective students and their families are invited to campus to tour the school, meet faculty and staff, explore academics and extracurriculars, and experience student life at our all-boys school.
