Join us for Academy Days 2019 at MBA!
February 23rd & 24th
- Greetings from Monterey Bay Academy,
- We would like to invite you to our Academy Days open house. This weekend will allow prospective students and parents to view MBA's campus and meet staff and students. MBA is more than an Education...it's an Experience. We know this event will help you experience all that boarding school has to offer. You'll experience MBA's Spiritual Life, Academic Life, Social Life, and more!
- First, you will experience MBA's Spiritual Life with our Youth Rally Saturday morning at 10:30am in the MBA Church and group activities in the afternoon. You'll experience our Social Life at the Talent Showcase and stay overnight in our dormitory Saturday. Sunday, you'll experience our Academic Life with a special showcase of our classes.
- We are eagerly anticipating your arrival on our beautiful 379 acre coastal campus. Much time and energy has gone into this event with you in mind. We hope that after enjoying the MBA Experience you will want to choose to become part of our MBA family.
