What Will My Child Learn When?
Our complete curriculum is posted through the links on your left, but here's a quick guide to general knowledge by grade level.
The mission of the Mount Laurel Township School District is to prepare all children to be successful citizens and workers in the 21st Century. As aligned with the 2004 revised New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, this includes educating students to read with comprehension, write clearly, compute accurately, think critically, reason, discover, innovate, collaborate, and use information to solve problems.
The Mount Laurel Board of Education
The Mount Laurel Board of Education meets twice monthly, as a rule. The first meeting of the month is a work session where matters are discussed, but action is generally not taken. The regular meeting follows a week later, as a rule, and it is at this meeting that the board votes on agenda items. Both the work session and regular meetings offer time for public comment.
