The Middle School math program builds on the number sense and problem-solving skills developed in Lower School. Algebra is introduced in grades five and six, with a full Algebra I curriculum offered in grades seven and eight, alongside key concepts in geometry and statistics. Daily practice, mental math, and thoughtful instruction reinforce fluency.

Students are placed for both support and challenge, with honors tracks and accelerated options beyond geometry for exceptional learners. At all levels, math is taught with purpose, helping students see that there’s a reason behind every rule. When the reasons are understood, learning math can be easy.

Enthusiasm for math is encouraged. Many students take part in the AMC 8 contest annually, and our Math Team won the 2019 and the 2025 Connecticut State Mathcounts competition.
