Spirit, Community, and Care
My daughter attended MBCI for Grades 6 through 12 and graduated in 2019. She loved it. Not every day, and not always in the moment, but perspective is a great thing. She was involved in sports (almost all of them), she loved the days of community involvement, the retreats and the school spirit days - but she also loved the academics. This wasn't always about the classes she took, but the teachers that taught those classes. She felt that her teachers were invested in her being the best she could be, gave extra time, help and care. The goal was ensuring success of each student. How many students can say that Chemistry class was their favourite class of the day? It wasn't the class, it was the teacher (Mr. Hiebert), and his dedication to the subject, but more importantly, his students. He wasn't the only one. There are many examples.
She misses this school, as do I. I miss the sense of community for parents. I wouldn't change a thing.
