Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

Reach Ahead Mathematics in Grade 8 During their Grade 7 year at Havergal, students in Grade 7 Mathematics may apply for Reach Ahead Math 8 for their Grade 8 year. Students selected for this course will complete both the Grade 8 and Grade 9 curricula during their Grade 8 year and proceed to take Grade 10 mathematics during their Grade 9 year. Grade 7 Math teachers describe the two courses and review the criteria to their students in the fall of Grade 7. Applicants are then assessed based on multiple data points collected throughout the year, including, but not limited to: student initiative and aptitude, contest results,

thinking and assessment results, teacher feedback and observations, final exam (if applicable) and overall mark, as well as placement test results. Students selected for Reach Ahead Math 8 are not “streamed” or separated into a “special” class in their subsequent years; Havergal’s Grade 10 to 12 Math classes consist of students from both Reach Ahead Math 8 and Math 8. Regardless of which of these two courses a student takes during their Grade 8 year, all students have equal access to the full range of mathematics courses offered up to Grade 12 courses, including Advanced Placement (AP). For more information on math pathways, please consult your teacher.
