Our Mission

MBHS's mission is to prepare global citizens through academic rigor, enriched social responsibilities and a strong sense of community. Our goal is that our students leave MBHS with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for life-long learning and self discovery which will allow our students to be self sustaining in a post secondary setting.

Our students, learners of content at different speeds and in different manners, must become true 21st century learners. All students will engage in relevant and rigorous  curriculum that allows for success through differentiation Our faculty’s approach will be to foster curiosity and relevance by engaging students in problem and project based learning activities.
