Mathematics
Mathematics is a useful, exciting, creative and vital area of study that is taught and explored by faculty who foster an appreciation and sense of enjoyment for all students.
The rigorous and varied curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop their abilities to solve problems and reason logically.
The curriculum offers courses of study, which will
enable students to explore and make sense of their world. The study of mathematics is an ongoing process that will extend to and enhance every facet of the students’ lives.
As students reach the junior high years, their course placement will be determined by a variety of assessment tools. In 7th grade, students take Pre-Algebra at either the college placement or honors level. Occasionally 7th grade students are placed in Algebra I Honors. Most eighth grade students follow the progression to Algebra I or Algebra I Honors, while those students who successfully complete Algebra I Honors in 7th grade move to Geometry Honors.
