To earn a Standard Diploma, students must complete three credits in mathematics classes, all of which must be at or above the Algebra I level. Students who wish to earn the Advanced Studies Diploma must complete four credits of mathematics, which must include the Algebra II level or above. To fulfill the Group V requirement for the IB Diploma, students must complete the requirements for IB (AA) Mathematics HL, IB (AA) Mathematics SL or IB (AI) Mathematics SL.
Graphing calculators are used in all high school mathematics classes, however students will be required to show work and complete problems demonstrating steps used by hand without a calculator.
