At ASL we believe that the field of mathematics provides an essential and unique way of interpreting the world around us. Our philosophy promotes a student-centered, inclusive approach to math education, with the aim of developing a positive math identity for all students. We strive for students to experience the wonder, joy, and beauty of this field of study.
Our program provides each student with a solid foundation that reinforces conceptual understanding and application where all students are appropriately challenged. Teaching and learning at ASL encourages students to articulate their mathematical thinking in a variety of ways. Our vision is to equip students with the habits of mind, knowledge, and skills they will need to be flexible, creative problem-solvers who can adapt to the ever-evolving and changing world.
