Mathematics Department
The Mathematics Department at 特学校 offers personalized learning to challenge 和 support students so that every girl feels like she can be successful in math.
Teachers foster a growth mindset in students, helping each girl in her commitment 和 effort to master math.
In classes, students apply their learning in math to the real world 和 (yes!) exciting challenges. 在几何, students act as city planners to design 4 square blocks, 和 engage in a mock trial to debate triangle congruence. Our 概率 和 Statistics classes mount trail cameras in the campus woods to collect 和 analyze data on wild animals. Students carry this joy of math into their challenging Advanced Placement Calculus 和 Statistics classes.
