Frequently Asked Questions

List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • How do I know if my student can or should take Foundations in Algebra?

    Students whose transcripts or placement test indicate that they have not yet fully mastered the skills of algebra 1 should take this course if they would like to begin their school year in geometry rather than algebra 1 or geometry + preliminary topics. Students are also invited to take Foundations in Algebra to revisit concepts before enrolling in algebra 2, especially if their algebra 1 experience was a while ago or if they are not feeling confident with the material. Enrollment in this course may also be recommended or required by the admissions office to ensure future success in CSW’s program. 

  • How do I know if my student can or should take Geometry Enrichment?

    Students who took algebra 1 their 9th grade year and are interested in accelerating their math studies, including accessing calculus courses their senior year, are ideal students for the summer geometry course. Students may take summer geometry before their geometry course, especially if there are skills in geometry that they are less familiar or confident with. 


  • Can my student take both Foundations in Algebra and Geometry Enrichment this summer?

    No. Our courses are designed for students to fully immerse in one subject in their summer studies, and time after the course to process the material and continue practice is important for future success. If students are unsure which course would benefit their learning and future coursework at CSW, they should consult the math department for a recommendation.

  • Do these courses fulfill CSW’s mathematics credit requirements?

    Currently, CSW students must study through algebra 2, as well as at least one additional elective course in mathematics beyond the algebra 2 level. It is also recommended that students study mathematics each year of their enrollment at CSW. These requirements are not affected by summer coursework. 

  • Will summer coursework appear on my student’s CSW transcript?

    As summer courses are delivered and assessed differently from school-year CSW courses, each student’s record of their summer studies will be included as an attachment to their transcripts when applying to colleges or otherwise sending their records to other institutions, rather than appearing as a credit on their CSW transcript.
