context_page_description: Morristown–Beard School is a coeducational, independent, college-preparatory day school located in Morristown, in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. Serving students in sixth through twelfth grades, the school has two academic units: an Upper School and a Middle School.
  The present-day Morristown–Beard School was formed from the 1971 merger of two single-sex schools: the Beard School for Girls and the Morristown School for Boys. The Commission on Secondary Schools at the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools has accredited the school since 1973.
  Peter J. Caldwell has served as Morristown–Beard School's headmaster since 2011.
context_section_description: Supported by a $16.2 million capital campaign, Morristown–Beard School constructed the Middle School building and Founders Hall, a performing arts facility. The Middle School building opened during fall 2008, and Founders Hall, which houses a 630-seat surround-sound theatre, opened during winter 2009. In 2011, Morristown–Beard School transformed Wilkie Hall, which had previously contained the performing arts center, into a technology center with multiple computer labs.
  Renovated in 2004, Grant Hall now houses the Center for Academic Writing, the English Department, and the World Languages Department. That year, Morristown-Beard also opened the renovated Beard Hall with space for Anderson Library and offices for the History Department, College Counseling, Admissions, and the Headmaster. In 2007, the school renovated South Wing, which now houses the MBS Center for Teaching and Learning (formerly the Center for Learning) and visual arts classrooms. Morristown–Beard School's students have access to a film production studio with a green screen, a studio for multi-track digital audio recording, and a post-production studio.
