Math
Innovative teaching + real world applications = engaged students.
Through the course of a Westtown math education, students are exposed to many different ways of defining and framing problems, as well as solving them. Collaborative work, in-depth exploratory projects, and an emphasis on critical thinking skills pervade our curriculum as we continually seek creative ways to help learners.
