Richland Academy: Curriculum

Mathematics. Our program in mathematics provides an excellent foundation of both concrete and abstract concepts, achieved through theoretical and concrete application, drills, and review. Concepts are reviewed regularly until mastery is achieved. Built on the Spirit of Math teaching concept, the curriculum promotes a deep understanding of concepts through multi-sensory manipulation and everyday relevance.
