Algebra I

June 11 - July 18: 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Algebra 1 is the first course in the Common Core Traditional Pathway for High School Mathematics. This comprehensive course emphasizes equation-solving procedures, understanding and graphing functions, and problem-solving strategies. Major topics include equations, inequalities, systems, linear and quadratic functions, exponents, polynomials and factoring, and data analysis and probability. This course is recommended for students who have strong fundamental math skills and a desire to accelerate in mathematics. Please be sure to consult with the Academic Counselors at your school to be sure that this course is a good fit for you and that they will accept our credits.

INCOMING JESUIT STUDENTS: This course is geared for those who have more significant holes in their Algebra knowledge based on HSPT/challenge test scores but not to the point of qualifying Algebra 1 review. Families are required to wait for their Math placements to be processed to verify if they are eligible for this class, please do not enroll in class prior to the Math Challenge test results are completed. This course is also open to sophomores who need to retake after their freshman year.

Geometry XL

June 11 - July 18: 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

The course has the same goals and objectives as the full year course of Geometry XL. Content includes all topics from Geometry as well as additional emphasis on formal deductive proof, applications to geometric figures, construction and inductive reasoning.  A grade of A in Algebra I or Integrated Math 1 is a prerequisite for this course. 

Pre-Requisites for Jesuit Students: Sophomore standing in the Fall. Jesuit students must obtain prior department approval. Incoming Jesuit Freshmen may not register for this course without taking the Math Challenge Exam and receiving prior approval from the Math Department. 

Pre-Requisites for Non-Jesuit Students:  Successful completion of Algebra I OR Integrated Math 1 with a grade of A or better. Please be sure to consult with the Academic Counselors at your school to be sure that this course is a good fit for you and that they will accept our credits.

Pre-Calculus

June 11 - July 18: 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

This 6-week course prepares students for Calculus by introducing and reinforcing algebraic skills required for success in that course. The first three weeks will focus on simplifying expressions, solving equations and inequalities, functions, graphing, transformations, higher degree polynomial functions, and inverse functions. The last three weeks will focus on transcendental functions (exponential and logarithmic) and trigonometry. Students will learn and apply fundamental identities and the Unit Circle to a variety of problems, apply transformations to graph trigonometric functions. Building upon that, students will be expected to apply other trigonometric identities (addition/subtraction, double & half angle formulas, sum-to-product, and product-to-sum) to solve a variety of problems. The course concludes with inverse trig functions, applying the laws of sines and cosines, vectors, and representing complex numbers in trigonometric form.

Pre-Requisites for Jesuit Students: Open to current 11th-grade students earning an A in regular Algebra 2 or B in Algebra 2H and subject to instructor approval. The course may also be taken to remediate a Pre-Calculus grade earned during the regular academic year.

Pre-Requisites for Non-Jesuit Students: Must have successfully completed Algebra 2 or Integrated Math 1, 2, and 3. Please be sure to consult with the Academic Counselors at your school to be sure that this course is a good fit for you and that they will accept our credits.
