Student Life at MLS
The final classroom bell rings at 3:00 p.m. to announce the end of the school day. But at MLS, that isn’t the last bell of the day. The afternoon and evening are still abuzz with activity on campus, whether it’s students going to work out in the weight room, heading to a group meeting for an extracurricular, or simply going into the dorms to relax before study hall. Bells continue to ring into the evening to let students know when their next activity, meeting, or free time is coming up.
90% of MLS students are involved with some kind of extracurricular throughout the year. Participation isn’t mandatory, but it is the norm. MLS students are both involved in the life of the school and active in the lives of their roommates and friends. The Seminary Family looks out for each other, and MLS provides many opportunities to focus those efforts in specific areas of interest that will engage each student and activate their gifts.
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might!” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)

Photography Club
Almost every photo you’ve seen on this website was taken by a student in our MLS photography club.
Project Titus Mission Trip Program
Since 1981, MLS students have traveled throughout the summer months to cities across the country and around the world. These trips offer an amazing opportunity for cross-cultural immersion and outreach experiences. Students often help organize and run various programs with their host congregations – soccer camps, music camps, Vacation Bible School, and more. Students gain real life experience in a mission field often very different from their own.

Boarding and Dorm Life at MLS
Since many of our students come from areas where a daily commute is difficult or impossible, about two-thirds of the student body lives in the dormitory. The dorms are more than a place to sleep: MLS dorms offer unique and fun living experiences as students live together with friends and learn how to take responsibility for their daily routines.
