The Mathematics Department provides a curriculum that makes available a four-year mathematics program for all our young women. Through this program, students experience "the enjoyment of a challenge, the excitement of success, and the development of a good self-image" (NCTM Standards). Students acquire competency in the processes of mathematical thinking, an understanding of the nature and structure of mathematics, and an appreciation of the value of mathematics in their everyday lives. They are evaluated for mathematical knowledge conceptual understanding, procedural skills and their ability to communicate mathematics. Students use appropriate technology, calculators (TI 84), computers and instructional materials during classroom instruction.

For a detailed list of course offerings, please see the curriculum guide.
