Math

Math provides students with tools to make sense of the world analytically. Our classes are problem-solving laboratories where students exercise and hone their numerical and logical tools. Students are taught to reduce big problems into smaller pieces. All of our students engage in skill-building, authentic struggle, real-world relevance, argumentation and proof, conceptual engagement, and rigor. Our classes are heavy in discussion and discovery, and students are encouraged to personalize their relationships with the discipline.
