Geometry (students entering grade 9)

Cost: $700
Class to be held online.
Highly motivated students with a passion for math may consider taking geometry during the summer. This accelerated class covers a year of curriculum in a shorter time frame, typically 5-6 weeks. It is ideal for students who have performed well in Honors Algebra 1, have a strong work ethic, and grasp concepts quickly. Students will need a laptop and can expect intense classwork, discussions, assessments and homework each day. Upon successful completion, students must still take four years of math in Upper School, and this course enables them to graduate with AP Calculus (1-2 years) and/or AP Stats.
