"My conversion to Christ at MBA set my life in a direction that cannot be described in words, because it has been an experience. I could never repay the valuable training and life preparation I received at MBA."
Jose Rojas, Class of 1979
Director, Volunteer Ministries, North American Division of SDA |
"I feel a certain pride toward MBA. I feel it is a school that really develops a child's character. Compared to other schools I have seen, MBA seems so personal and because of the boarding school experience, it is like a family. I feel very attached to MBA and being at MBA makes me feel like part of a kind of special 'club', a club connected with God that has many members that all have that same feeling."
Danica Betts, Class of 2011
Associated Student Body (A.S.B.) Executive Vice President 2010-2011 |
"I am indebted to the teachers and leaders that I now realize were making great sacrifices to work at MBA. The education, discipline, and life-long friendships from my years at MBA are invaluable assets that will live with me forever."

Dear MBA Family,
When MBA sophomore Emily B. found out her 19-year-old cousin had a brain tumor, her first thought was, "How can I help?" That thought grew into how could she help people in general who suffer with the terrible disease of cancer.
Emily is on a fundraising campaign to raise $1,000 or more for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Emily will be cutting her hair and donating it to Locks of Love AND shaving her head. You can read more about this story, see Emily's picture and/or make a contribution on the MBA web-site under the news section.
Emily and her latest project serves as an inspiration to all of us. We are proud of Emily and happy to claim her as one of our MBA students who is already making a positive difference in the world around her.
