Our goal is to prepare every student to reach his or her potential in a supportive, academically-focused environment. In every mathematics course, we want students to learn what it means to explore and discover mathematics. Our students learn what it means to collect data, observe patterns, make conjectures, and then generalize their findings. They know what it means to produce a coherent logical argument, to think deductively. They understand what it means to create a mathematical model and represent a solution analytically, geometrically, numerically, and verbally. At Besant Hill School, students learn what it means to analyze a problem and persevere until it is solved. In essence, students truly understand what it means to develop the habits of the mind of a mathematician and think critically. We believe all students can succeed and come to appreciate the power and beauty of mathematics.
