“At SEM, our math classes are not just about solving equations; they're about inspiring curiosity, fostering problem-solving skills, and empowering students to think critically and creatively. With our small class sizes, we have the flexibility to complete fun projects and activities to increase our students’ understanding of content. The class size also allows for a close-knit relationship between teachers and students, where trust is formed so students feel comfortable challenging themselves. Together, we build a foundation for lifelong learning and success.”
