MBA actively encourages excellence for all students. We strive to create a scholastic environment that nurtures as it challenges; one that openly welcomes students, teachers, families and community members. We do this with the clear understanding that we are laying the foundation of a life-long learning process that will see our pupils mastering the academic rigors of college and enjoying gainful employment in the workplace of tomorrow.
MBA will strive to do the following:

• Help students to develop fully their intellectual capabilities.  We will intensively address such learning needs as below grade level development in the language arts, math and science.
• Help our students develop the foundational characteristics of strong leaders, including self-confidence, personal responsibility and the understanding that effort determines success.
• Strive to ensure that all of our students graduate. They will be prepared to matriculate to college successfully. As part of our curriculum, we will offer students the opportunity to master technology skills and obtain industry-recognized certification.

The values our students will learn, adopt, and promote:

• Effort determines how successful they become.
• Initial failure to reach an academic target is only evidence that they have not yet found the right learning strategy. It is not evidence of some innate deficiency.
• Manage their own learning processes and ultimately become self-directed learners.
• Help each other reach their learning goals. This is the essence of being part of a learning community.
• Personal responsibility, discipline and personal choice to manage their own behavior and outside influences.
