Student Spotlight
MDS students are balanced! And this includes balancing academics, social activities, and extracurricular activities. As part of personal wellness, many students choose to participate in athletics.
Middle School Personal Projects
Each year, the 8th-grade students select a year-long personal project focused on personal challenges and goal setting.
Bold Innovation!
Morganton Day School students compete at the regional Future Cities presentation in Raleigh, NC.
Young Authors!
Student agency is at the heart of an International Baccalaureate® curriculum, which includes voice, choice, and ownership, with lessons of tolerance, empathy, and open-mindedness. Children learn to share perspectives, acknowledge similarities and differences, and find ways to respectfully communicate their values, passions, and ideas, all while developing their individual voices.
A Cultural Celebration!
Developing cultural understanding is an important part of the MDS curriculum.
Why Choose an International Baccalaureate (IB)education?
The International Baccalaureate framework focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in school and in the world beyond.
Middle School Fall Sports!
The first year of middle school fall athletics at Morganton Day School was a huge success!
Inaugural Golf Tournament
Join us for a golf tournament to raise funds for the middle school athletics program on November 5 at the Marion Lake Club!
Titan Fund!
Our Titan Annual Fund is the one (yep, no gift wrap sells) major fundraiser for the fall semester at MDS and will commence next week.
First Day of School!
Two cherished MDS traditions are celebrated on the first day of a new school year: commencement and flag raising.
Blown Away in the Outer Banks
Last week was Special Studies Week for the MDS middle school students. While the 7th and 8th Grade students explored marine biology in Florida, the 5th and 6th-grade students ventured to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Little did they know, a Nor'Easter awaited!
Science Night
Science Night is an annual tradition. This year's celebration of International Baccalaureate learning was a huge success!
Our students:
Explored landforms
Discovered the principles of aerodynamics
Investigated geology
Learned about animal adaptations
Middle school students presented their ingenious ideas for a plethora of new inventions and innovations. It was great to be together as a community, learning and enjoying time together!
