Mountainview provides some opportunities for students to challenge their academic growth outside the curriculum.  One of the most popular of these events is the Battle of the Books, usually held in March. Some years there are opportunities for debates or even a science fair. Most of these events are within Mountainview only, but we have also had debates with teams from other international schools.

Goals for Academic Competitions
1.    To help students gain a love of reading (or debate or some other academic endeavor)
2.    To promote teamwork
3.    To stimulate academic excellence in an enjoyable and different format
4.    To interest students in a subject in a way that goes beyond the regular curriculum
5.    To provide a venue for students with academic talents to perform

See the Battle of the Books page (in Students -> Library) for information about this annual event.
