Our growing mathematics faculty challenges students to develop sharp critical thinking skills to solve complex problems. But more than simply assigning difficult problems, we train students to think independently. By teaching them to ask the right questions and recognize underlying patterns, our students learn to approach mathematics with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

Learning Through Practice

Turn Mathematical Knowledge into Real Problem-Solving

Mastering mathematics takes more than memorizing theories, formulas, and standard problem-solving methods. While foundational knowledge is essential, students often struggle to apply what they’ve learned. That’s why we emphasize rigorous, consistent practice. Applying concepts to diverse and challenging problems sharpens critical thinking and transforms theoretical understanding into real problem-solving ability.

Reviewing Errors and Finding Multiple Solutions

Build Precision by Embracing Mistakes and Exploring Methods

Careful review of mistakes is a core part of mathematics training. Students must be able to identify errors to avoid repeating them. While math is often seen as exact—answers are either right or wrong—the process of reaching those answers can be abstract. Many problems allow for multiple solution paths. Teaching students to explore alternative methods deepens understanding, sharpens accuracy, and helps solidify long-term mastery.

Calculator Independence

Build Concept Mastery Without Relying on Technology

While calculators can be useful tools, they should not become a crutch. We train students to strengthen their understanding of mathematical concepts so they can solve problems independently. In many timed tests, relying too heavily on a calculator can slow students down. Developing mental math and estimation skills leads to faster performance and deeper comprehension.

Building Up Your Knowledge

Master Foundational Concepts to Excel at Higher Levels

Mathematics is a cumulative subject—each new topic builds directly upon prior knowledge. Students who try to cut corners often struggle when advanced concepts arise. That’s why we focus on reinforcing earlier material and developing long-term retention. Building strong mathematical foundations takes time, but it’s essential for mastering more complex problems down the road.

Statistics

Discover Meaningful Patterns Through Data Analysis

Statistics blends mathematical rigor with scientific inquiry. It requires students to apply calculations, formulas, hypotheses, and experimentation to make sense of complex data sets. While organizing and analyzing data may seem daunting, students are often amazed by the patterns that emerge. Statistics supports a wide range of subjects—including mathematics, economics, human geography, history, sustainability, and politics. We frequently prepare students for Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics, one of our most requested courses.
