Mathematics

The typical math curriculum at Thornton-Donovan covers Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry, in that order. Students frequently reach Calculus I and advanced students will reach Calculus II.
As an international school, we have had experience with what math capabilities are overseas where math is taken very seriously. Math is unchanging and so are our textbooks.

CORE MATH CLASSES

ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA
A classic 9th grade algebra course which includes signed numbers, operations with monomials and polynomials, first degree equations and inequalities, special products and factoring, the coordinate plane including the equations of lines and graphing inequalities, systems of linear equations, quadratic equations, and topics in probability and statistics.

PLANE GEOMETRY

ALGEBRA II & TRIGONOMETRY
A classic course in 11th grade algebra and trigonometry which includes operations with rational expressions, geometry of the circle, irrational and imaginary numbers, absolute value equations and inequalities, radical equations, functions and relationships, conic sections with applications, trigonometric functions and graphs including the inverse functions, trigonometric applications, equations, and identities, logarithmic functions, exponential functions, and complex numbers. The student obtains sufficient knowledge to enter Calculus I.
