EDUCATION

For the benefit of families with children living at MBA, school will take place Monday through Friday, just as on earth. Age-specific classes will be conducted via ComLink with terrestrial instructors to provide the highest-quality education possible. In fact, your children will probably receive an even better education on the moon than they did on earth! NASA has recruited the finest, most effective teachers to lead classes—and your children’s education will regularly be supplemented with lectures by NASA specialists in dozens of different fields, ranging from mathematics to biology to engineering. Since your children will be living on the moon, they’ll be at the forefront of scientific research—so there’s a chance they might even learn some groundbreaking information before anyone on earth does!
