Mathematics Course Descriptions
In grades 9 - 12, students extend their understanding and proficiency in a variety of areas of mathematics including Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Statistics, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. All courses are approached through a VNAG approach: Numerical, Analytical, and Graphical with additional emphasis on Verbal and Writing communication skills. Technology is an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Students are immersed in a wide range of mathematical concepts and processes in preparation for college-level mathematics. Assessment is based on student understanding of mathematics concepts over problem-solving. All mathematics courses offered at the Scholars Academy are designated as Honors or Advanced Placement. The Scholars Academy offers AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, as well as AP Statistics. All students in AP courses must take an exam administered by the College Board. High performance on AP exams may result in college credit or advanced placement.
