The Mountain Brook Board of Education seeks to provide its students with a curriculum that:

• Ensures the mastery of knowledge and skills necessary for success in post secondary study and careers
• Challenges each student to do the best work of which each is capable
• Allows for individual student differences in needs, abilities, and interests
• Engages students in active learning in which they both acquire knowledge and learn to apply it in meaningful ways
• Enables students to see connections among the academic disciplines
• Enables students to become independent learners
• Is based on sound research and effective practice
• Is supported by high quality, engaging instructional materials
• Enjoys the understanding and support of faculty, parents, and community
