MBV is an intensive, academic program. These rules are designed for the student’s safety and enjoyment. Failure to comply with the Program Guidelines may result in the removal from the program.

If all forms following my application are not submitted to BestPrep by the due date, BestPrep retains the right to keep the non-refundable payment and cancel my application.

I agree to the above guidelines.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

The full cost to attend is $300. The early bird discounted rate is $200 until April 18, 2025. If you register after April 18, the rate is $300. This payment is non-refundable if you cancel or fail to turn in all your paperwork by the due date. Our goal is to ensure that every student is given the opportunity to attend MBV.
