We welcome families from many backgrounds and communities, united by a shared commitment to purpose, character development, and lifelong learning. Students who thrive at MBA are curious, driven, and eager to embrace challenges. They engage deeply and, with the support of our community, develop into their fullest potential. As Middle Tennessee’s only all-boys’ school, MBA places a boy’s academic, extracurricular, and personal growth at the center of our mission.

Here, learning thrives in an environment where friendships flourish, teachers understand how boys learn, and students feel confident taking risks—whether mastering poetry or physics.

By drawing on themes that resonate with boys—courage, adventure, honor, and responsibility—we create an education that challenges and inspires. In this single-sex setting, boys learn with focus and confidence, free from many social distractions. They become more curious, more willing to take risks, and more supportive of one another as they pursue the shared goal of becoming gentlemen, scholars, and athletes.
