Curriculum Detail

Math

The math department strives to provide opportunities for students to explore and apply mathematical concepts.  Graduates from Vermont Academy should be comfortable with the accepted, established notation, vocabulary, mechanics, and processes that define high school mathematics.  They will also have had opportunities to express themselves creatively and to explore topics of interest using the tools they’ve developed.  We assess mastery of mathematics in a variety of ways, from standardized assessments that focus on mathematical accuracy to individualized evaluations of application, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
