Textbooks

Our Virtual Bookstore will open July 1st. Ordering is available online at http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/wesleyanschool.htm or simply click the orange box on this page to go to the MBS Virtual Bookstore.

Select Order my Books, select Payment Option, and proceed to the page to choose Lower School by Grade, Middle School by Grade or High School by Course. When the grade/course is selected, the required materials will be listed. The list will be for the entire year, and it is recommended that you buy all materials for Fall and Spring Semester – reordering will incurr additional postage. For some of the textbooks, there will be a choice of new or used; MBS’s used books are top quality.

Any used consummables, textbooks, or paperbacks should have little or no markings; teachers may ask a student to obtain a new book if used books are unacceptable due to excessive markings. Some texts have been changed to a new edition. Please note: purchasing the current edition is required. Passages and content change from edition to edition, and consistency in all students’ textbooks/novels is important for classroom discussions and assessments.

Multiple Payment Options: Select from a variety of payment options--major credit card, debit card or check.
100% Return Policy: If, for any reason, you are unhappy with your purchase, you have up to 30 days from the original purchase date or from the first day of class, whichever is later, to return your books for a full refund.
