Our program aims to provide the necessary knowledge base and skills in order to realize the full advantage of every college level mathematics course offered on the high school level.

“Even with the early wake up time, the 8th Grade Algebra class at Brother Rice was an enjoyable experience. Not only did I bond with kids from different schools around the area, but I felt we thoroughly covered important topics in Algebra I. The material covered class put me ahead of the game when I came in freshman year! I felt a lot more prepared for the rigorous math course I was placed in.”
