The curriculum in the IMSA Math Department has been developed to serve a wide variety of students. Since our students enter with different backgrounds, our programs have been designed to be entered at many different places. The philosophy of our program is to provide a rich learning environment and allow the students to construct their own understanding, with the teacher as a guide.
