As with many subjects, mathematics continues to play a very important role in the academics programme on offer at La Garenne. Unlike some schools, mathematics is in the student’s timetable each day of the week not to mention the homework periods and private lessons undertaken by some of the students.
What is very important to us is not just learning the subject in order to cover all the syllabus but going beyond what is expected and continually motivating and encouraging the students to push themselves and aim higher. With a strong international body of students it is possible that some of them are advanced in mathematics and the class teachers will provide a higher level of work.
The international mathematics programme runs alongside the class syllabus and allows the students to follow the school programme whilst at the same time studying some of the mathematics they would be doing in their own country.
