How is Math taught at the New School?

Math is a large part of daily life at New School. Every morning, students spend an hour working on math. Students are placed according to their experience and ability, and work with a qualified math teacher on the Saxon math curriculum. Teachers supplement as needed with additional curricula to ensure success for all learners. We offer courses from grade 6 math up to Algebra 1, and opportunities for students to advance beyond this into Algebra 2 and Geometry.

Our math classes have an average 12:1 student to teacher ratio, and we also have after-school math support twice each week to ensure that students are able to get timely, personalized help with any challenges they encounter.
