The mathematics department requires each student to earn three credits of mathematics during Grades 9–12 in order to receive a diploma from The Lovett School. A student is required to complete Algebra I (may begin or take in middle school), Geometry, Algebra II, and a course beyond Algebra II. The department strongly recommends that a math course be taken each year.
Throughout the curriculum, the graphing calculator will be an essential tool for students to explore various relationships, graph complicated functions, and solve a variety of problems. The honors level of each course includes additional concepts and enrichment topics. Students in an honors class must be highly motivated and willing to commit significant time to the course. Students are recommended for honors mathematics by the members of the department.
