Select Sell Your Textbooks under the Menu tab and follow the prompts. MBS will provide a quote for any books it wants to purchase.

Buying Textbooks
MBS Direct opens July 5 for the coming school year with free shipping the week of July 12. We will publish the 2020-2021 textbook list in early June.
Vianney Summer Camps
We want to support academic and athletic fitness this summer without compromising the health and safety of our community. That's why we are postponing all summer camps on our campus through Sunday, June 28. This includes all grade school, incoming freshman, and returning player camps. Vianney is currently reviewing if camps can be held on campus in July or transform into a virtual experience. We will notify families if and when camps can be held in compliance with the guidelines set forth by St. Louis County Government . You will receive a full refund if a camp is cancelled because we are unable to host a later date or virtual experience or your son is no longer able to attend.
Summer Opportunities
Our Counseling Department has compiled college and career prep opportunities for our students to pursue this summer.
