Mathematics

Many Columbia Academy students name Math as their favorite subject. 

Class placement is based on ability rather than age, so students are challenged without being overwhelmed. 

Games, projects and art are routinely incorporated to demonstrate mathematical concepts.  Consequently, the subject is embraced because the activities are fun and students understand how to apply what they learn in real-life situations.

Our 100% comprehension philosophy is particularly effective here, because learning new processes is so often dependent upon previous lessons.  For example, a student who knows counting-by's will grasp multiplication. If she can multiply, she can divide.  If she can divide, she will understand fractions, and so on.

"Thank you to the staff at Columbia Academy for a job well done with my son.  His success both in reading and math has been a source of confidence and pride for him.  The individualized curriculum has allowed him to work ahead so that he is a full grade ahead in math."
