Upper School Course Offerings

List of 2 frequently asked questions.

  • Geometry

    Geometry is a course comprising the sequential and cumulative study of geometric definitions, postulates, theorems, and corollaries implemented through mathematical modeling. The course emphasizes developing reasoning skills through the exploration of geometric relationships, including properties of geometric figures, trigonometric relationships, and mathematical proofs. In this course, deductive reasoning and logic are used in direct proofs.  Direct proofs are presented in different formats (typically two columns or paragraphs) and employ definitions, postulates, theorems, and algebraic justifications, including coordinate methods.

    Major topics of study will include logical reasoning and formal proofs; properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles; triangle similarity, triangle congruence, and right triangle relationships; analysis of area and volume; properties of two and three-dimensional geometric figures and solids; and geometric constructions and transformations. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I.

  • Algebra II

    Algebra II continues to develop the fundamental algebraic skills needed for success in higher-level mathematics. Algebra II thoroughly studies functions, including parent functions, families of functions, and transformations. Students will develop the ability to create and apply models to situations represented by functions. The continued study of equations, systems of equations, inequalities, quadratics, factoring, and solving quadratic equations builds on Algebra I concepts in greater depth as students work to define new functions. 

    Major study topics will include linear and quadratic expressions, equations, and functions; polynomial, rational, and exponential functions; logarithmic functions, equations, and expressions; complex and imaginary numbers, sequences, and series; conic sections; basic trigonometry. 

    Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I and Geometry.
