Math & Science

Math

Math classes meet four times per week for a full hour. Each grade has two levels of math: the regular track (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus) and the honors track (Algebra II, Advanced Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus). Colorado state colleges require graduates to have four years of math.

Science

The sciences in a Waldorf school are taught as part of the main lesson block plan, so that students study the subject matter intensively, then return to build upon their knowledge the following year. Generally, two blocks equal six units, or slightly more than one semester. For example, Physics I and II (grades 9 and 10) equal just over one semester and Physics III and IV (grades 11 and 12) equal a little more than another semester, giving a total of twelve physics units upon completion of the curriculum.
