CURRICULUM AT AHB

Math is More Than Memorization

As a progressive micro school, our small classes and flexible program allow students to play math games, discuss problems, and use manipulatives in a way that develops a strong number sense. When students understand fundamental concepts, they can use critical thinking and creativity to comprehend more challenging ideas. As a result, our middle schoolers typically attain high school credit for algebra and many, geometry.
