  • Opportunities Beyond the Classroom

    MBCA offers students countless opportunities to explore historical, cultural, and educational venues.
Lower School: Experiential education comes to life through local and long distance field trips affording all students the opportunity to reach beyond the confines of the classroom. The learning experience is enriched through visits to the Center for Puppetry Arts, Atlanta Zoo, State Capitol, Cobb County Safety Village, Tellus Science Museum, Art Barn, Chattahoochee Nature Center, Georgia Aquarium, and Rock Eagle (5th Grade). 

Middle School: Capstone trips are an integral part of the Middle School culture, helping bring to life our school’s mission to provide academic excellence, spiritual growth, and a lifelong love and desire for learning. In short, they are at the heart of the Middle School experience here at MBCA. Through these opportunities, our students get to interact in new environments, reinforce academic and spiritual goals, and experience the benefits of traveling with their classmates and teachers. Capstone trips are a reflection of our passion to grow students’ knowledge, relationships, and spirituality, and the development of each grade level trip contributes to the overall three-year journey. 

In order to make these trips possible, we partner with Joshua Expeditions (JE). JE is a reputable, non-profit Christian organization founded for the purpose of assisting schools and churches in bringing the world to young people and bringing the Gospel to the world. They have been providing high quality, Christ-centered student educational travel for almost three decades to groups from all over the country with outstanding customer service and satisfaction.

Upper School: MBCA's international educational trips and mission trips align with our mission to provide a Christ-centered education that fosters academic excellence, spiritual growth, and servant leadership. These experiences allow students to engage with diverse cultures, deepen their Biblical worldview, and apply faith through hands-on learning. By stepping beyond the classroom, students cultivate critical thinking, leadership, and compassion.
