Mathematics at Merit Academy Middle School
 Merit Academy students compete at a County Math Contest.
A strong background in Mathematics is especially important for students entering the fields of Engineering, Medicine, and Computer Science. Merit’s Math program is designed to be taken concurrently with our Science program, so that students understand the close relationship between mathematical concepts and scientific phenomena. With the individualized support of our Math teachers, the students learn to apply mathematical concepts to real-world problems.
Students simultaneously take the Kumon program. First, each student tests into the appropriate level. Students then work on a packet of math problems. Before moving on to the next level, the student must show proficiency. The Kumon program is a perfect complement to our Math course—Kumon builds a solid foundation, while Merit’s Mathematics classes stimulate and challenge students to solve problems, analyze data, and apply new strategies and concepts.
