Math
The Math program at Herberger Young Scholars Academy is specifically designed to allow students to achieve at their appropriate level, regardless of age or cohort.
All incoming students to Herberger Young Scholars Academy take math placement tests before school starts or at the beginning of the school year. Based on the results of these tests, students will be placed into an appropriate math class for them.
Once in a class, students are allowed to progress at their own pace through the curriculum. For some students, this may mean completing an entire math course in a single semester; while for others, it may mean doing so in three or more semesters. The goal is deep understanding and confidence with numeracy to ensure students will be successful as they progress on their math journey.
Herberger Young Scholars Academy offers a variety of math courses including algebra, geometry, algebra 2/trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and statistics.
When a Herberger Young Scholars Academy student is ready, they can enroll in college courses at Arizona State University and earn college credit for their work. This partnership allows students who are interested in expanding their learning in the field of mathematics far beyond what is traditionally available at the high school level.
