Our Vision: The vision of the Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD) is to prepare our students to become good citizens, engaged community members, and dynamic leaders in the complex, rapidly changing world they will inherit. They will develop strong self-discipline, interpersonal skills, personal values, social and civic responsibilities, and respect for themselves, others, and the environment. They will be able to move beyond MBUSD, prepared to earn a living, follow their aspirations, and make a difference.

Our Mission: The mission of the Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD) is to prepare all of our students to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing, highly complex, digitally-connected society. We will continually strive for excellence in every aspect of the educational experience. Our students will be taught to understand and appreciate human and cultural diversity, and to lead with empathy, curiosity, and respect. We will harness the full resources of the entire community, including students, families, educators, staff, higher education, business leaders, and District partners, to support this mission. We are committed to supporting students’ well-being, as it is essential to academic and personal success. We will empower students to be lifelong learners who achieve at high levels, develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, and build character needed to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
