Providence Academy uses Saxon Math in the lower school curriculum (grades K-6). Saxon Math is different from other programs that approach math in a “drill” like method moving from simple to complex concepts in a matter of weeks. In contrast, Saxon “scaffolds instruction of each concept and continues to review information introduced earlier. This allows students the time and practice to retain math concepts to the level of mastery.” In addition, Saxon provides “clear instruction and hands-on activities that engage all learners,” and help “students build skills and confidence through daily opportunities to review, develop mathematical reasoning, and apply knowledge.”
