A. There are a number of ways available.  Students can come to our annual Open House (scheduled in Janury each year),  sign up for a presentation at your school done by an MBIT staff member, sign up for a tour, or join us for a Career Exploration visit.  Please call us 215-343-2480 for more information or to schedule a visit.

Yes, students are required to complete an application and submit that to their school counselor, who will send over the necessary documentation along with the application.  Applications will be made available to all students in 9th, 10th, & 11th grades.  The first application deadline is usually April 1st each year.

Q. Can I still participate in after school sports & activities?
