About MB

Campus

With an unwavering focus on values, MB provides students with an environment that nourishes their intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth.

With the gift of forty acres of land, Moses Brown established a learning environment that would give children ample room to learn and play.  Even as the city of Providence grew and expanded, this preserve of green space has been a refuge from the bustle of city life for many generations.

There is no other campus in Providence that gives students such a rich experience–athletic fields, learning and library spaces, performance halls, forested glades, and plenty of open green space in which to study, relax, or enjoy a game of Frisbee with friends.
