The Lexington Latin School draws a distinction between arithmetic, or the process of computation, and mathematics, a more advanced subject that includes algebra, geometry, and calculus. Younger students build basic skills in computation until, by the 7th grade, they have mastered these skills and are prepared to engage in more advanced mathematical study. We use the following math curriculum at LLS:
