AA Teacher's Certificate, Alabama Rationale of Birmingham University School At Birmingham University School, we are aware that the capacity to learn and the ability to make use of information in creative and reflective thinking are uniquely human. We believe in learning PER SE, as the indispensable fabric of sound thinking. We seek every opportunity to encourage the use of facts in intelligent reasoning, but we consider our first business to be the teaching of fundamental knowledge and skills. We are devoted to the intensive teaching of basic courses: written and oral communication in English, ancient and modern languages, mathematics, history and sciences. In order to achieve a high level of excellence, we believe that small classes must be taught by the best qualified instructors that can be found. These instructors must be dedicated to this ideal of education, must ever seek more knowledge and professional competence, and must strive diligently to stretch the mind of each boy enrolled at B.U.S.
