The summer "Foundations in Algebra" course at CSW is designed for students looking to strengthen their algebra skills before their school year courses begin. This distilled version of algebra 1 focuses on the key topics needed to excel in the future math curriculum, including work with variables, exponents, and radicals, functions and transformations, linear functions and modeling, and quadratic functions and equations. Students, especially incoming students, are invited to take algebra 1 before enrolling in algebra 2 even if their placement does not necessarily indicate a need, in order to strengthen their skills and confidence in math, gain familiarity with CSW math curricula, get to know CSW teachers and fellow students, and enjoy enhancing their math abilities in a focused, fun, and non-grade-centric environment.
CSW—a gender-inclusive day and boarding school for grades 9-12—is a national leader in progressive education. We live out our values of inquiry-based learning, student agency, and embracing diverse perspectives in every aspect of our student experience. Young people come to CSW to learn how to learn and then put what they learn into action—essential skills they carry into their futures as doers, makers, innovators, leaders, and exceptional humans who do meaningful work in the world.
