Everyday Math is a comprehensive Pre-K through 6th grade mathematics curriculum developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. In middle school, our math is transitioned to Envision Math, with most students finishing Algebra 1 in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th grade. 

Social Studies
