[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children attended a local private which posters often criticize for their math program.  They both turned out to be math geniuses in high school, getting perfect SATs, perfect Math II Subject Tests, A+ in Calculus BC.  We supplemented a little with workbooks, summer camps, or CTY, but we also trusted that the school's approach would make our children thrive in other areas of their academics and their lives -- and it did.

Supplement their math instruction, but do not pull them out of the school, it is too disruptive mid-year.[/quote]

SAT math goes through pre-Calc but not for higher math. What did DC get on the AP Calc BC test?

This sounds like the school did a great job teaching math through pre-Calc, and maybe Calc too (and depending on how classmates did on the SATs and AP test). There's definitely something to be said for that, with one school of thought arguing that rushing through math means you don't get the foundations. On the other hand, boredom is bad. That's the trade off OP is facing.[/quote]
