Math

Students are required to take a math course every year.

All high school math courses are taught one on one. The instruction can be very direct and targeted for an individual student’s way of learning math concepts. We have a variety of math teachers and match the students with a math teacher based on teaching and instructional style. Students meet multiple times during the week.

Our students follow a traditional math sequence of Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Math Analysis or Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Advanced Calculus or Statistics. Mastery of the material and understanding of the concepts is our emphasis. Students must be able to work independently to take a math class in this sequence .

Integrated Math courses contain the concepts of Algebra and Geometry, but allow for a personal, modified design and pace.

The course also covers conic sections, but does not cover trigonometry. Emphasis is on the practical uses of these equations. Pre-requisite: Algebra ll

Advanced Algebra:

• The student will meet individually with the instructor to study more advanced algebra topics. Exact topics to be covered will depend on student interest and background. Topics may include: linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric equations. Emphasis is on the practical uses of these equations.
