The philosophy of the AISJ mathematics program is to provide our diverse learners with:

  • a solid mathematical background
  • a nurturing learning environment which fosters an appreciation for mathematics and opportunities for discovery and risk-taking
  • an ability to communicate their understanding
  • a belief that there is a mathematician within them
  • the ability to make connections to the world around them
  • opportunities to develop logical and analytical reasoning skills

Through this, we empower our learners to successfully apply their skills in a variety of contexts with confidence and perseverance.
