Mathematics

Program Leader:  Danielle Grebenc

Math is more than just numbers - it is a pathway for students to build critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. It's not just about memorizing formulas—math encourages a deeper understanding of concepts and teaches students how to think logically and approach challenges step by step.

Math helps students navigate the world, whether managing money, analyzing data, or solving real-world problems in science and technology. Strong math skills open doors to exciting careers in fields like engineering, healthcare, and finance, preparing students for future success.
