ATHLETE: SOUND MIND, SOUND BODY
Through competition our students learn self-sacrifice and friendship; they learn to be part of something bigger than themselves; and they learn to pursue excellence in all that they do.
Our students have many avenues to discover their talents through our extracurricular offerings at MBA, including 17 team sports, performing and visual arts, debate and robotics, and various clubs and activities. We promote daily fitness as a vital component of health, and we focus not only on physical health, but also on the enduring elements of character and overall wellness. Through competition our students learn self-sacrifice and friendship; they learn to be part of something bigger than themselves; and they learn to pursue excellence in all that they do.
MBA is fortunate to have some of the premier athletic and wellness facilities in the entire state of Tennessee, if not the entire southeast US. Students are required to participate in athletics in each season of the school year, throughout their time on The Hill - in keeping with the ideal of "Gentleman, Scholar, Athlete."
