The partnership with SQB helps all of us become more caring and connected members of our larger community.
- Matt Glendinning, former MB Head of School

Providence

Our newest program site, opened in December of 2017, was built in partnership with Moses Brown School. The facility is shared between the SQB and MB squash teams and is open to the public through PVD Squash, owned and operated by former Irish National Champion and PSA Touring Pro, Arthur Gaskin. In 2024 our very first class graduated high school and are heading for incredible post-secondary options.
