Math Program
If you want the personal connection of an excellent brick-and-mortar classroom combined with the flexibility of online learning for your student, choose this option. Our signature live online courses are the heart of the Williamsburg program, led by expert mentors who create a deep sense of community between students. Live courses include the following benefits:
In many live courses, we offer both a Classic and Honors format. Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format.
If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other
activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses. Self-paced courses include the following benefits:
In high school Math, Fine Arts, PE, and Electives, we offer independent courses so students can earn academic credit for learning from a third-party curriculum provider. Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details).
Why This Class
As a parent, you know your student wonders how certain math skills will apply to their future. You want your student to understand the important role math plays in life and develop the problem-solving skills to become the person they want to be.
In this course, students start thinking about what they want to do when they grow up and how math can help them get there. They learn how algebra helps solve real-life problems by completing exercises with numbers and operations, patterns of geometry, and equations with one unknown. Students also learn how to solve problems with two-variable linear functions and start learning about statistics. Throughout the course, students focus on connecting concepts they have been learning their whole lives to prepare for more advanced math in high school.
By the end of this course, students understand the importance of a strong mathematical foundation and have the necessary skills to succeed in high school math. They can solve more complex problems and equations than ever—and relate them to the real world.
