Often the results of the testing places them in the current grade level. There's no reason to be concerned about that! Remember that building a solid mathematical foundation for your child is much more important than finishing the levels quickly. Use all of the books, spend time every day working on math, encourage your child to do an excellent job, They will be well prepared for future.

We would provide Mathematics Textbooks, Workbooks, Intensive Practice and the Challenging Word Problems book for each school year per grade.

​Although having your student finish each of these books requires time and diligence, we believe that it is time well spent. Admittedly, there were seasons in our expereince when we didn't quite finish every page, but it was our goal to finish this set of books for each level. And the result has been that each of our students, although different in so many ways, all score in the upper 90th percentiles on standardized math tests.

We believe our curriculum provides a very solid math education for students. It is a rigorous workload, but with the support we offer, it is attainable! Here are the reasons that we strongly believe in our curriculum:

1. Textbooks are necessary! Before any exercise is done in the workbooks, student should looks at the textbook and see how the concepts are introduced. This ensures that the child is not just getting an answer but they are really comprehending the concepts.

2. Workbooks give the introductory level of practice after the concept has been introduced via the Textbook.

3. Intensive Practice is necessary - the Workbook problems are great introductory level problems. But in order to really master the concepts, students need to experience the harder problems found in these books. Through this practice students develop the strategies and think deeper about the concepts. During the class time we would give extra help for these problems which would help your child be successful on these more difficult concepts.

4. Challenging Word Problems - the BEST part about our Singapore Math curriculum. Critical thinking skills galore! Absolutely a must-do book!!

In order for a student to have an excellent math education, it will require consistent time and effort. Each student differs in the amount of time they require to complete their math assignments. There is also a vast difference between Mathematics 1 and Mathematics 6. However, we would say that the time requirement is between 20 minutes and 45 minutes per week.

Our class times vary depending upon grade. Our class duration is anywhere from 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs depending upon grade. We work with manipulatives to keep every child engaged.

Our teacher to student ratio for kindergartners is 1:4 and for 1st graders to 8th graders is 1:8.
