Curriculum & Programs

MATHEMATICS

Our school uses Amplify Desmos Math, an engaging math program that helps students understand math in a meaningful and supportive way. Lessons are built around real-world problems that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and active participation.

Students learn by exploring ideas, using visual models, and explaining their thinking through both digital tools and written work. They also work together to discuss strategies, ask questions, and learn from one another. This approach helps students build confidence and develop a strong understanding of how math works, not just how to solve problems.

Amplify Desmos supports all learners by meeting students where they are while keeping them challenged at grade level. Most importantly, it helps students see themselves as capable, confident mathematicians who are ready to take on new challenges.
