Mathematics - Secondary

middle school math teacher

The St. Paul math program is designed to meet students where they are and help them reach their full potential as confident, capable problem-solvers. Starting with Grade 6 math through AP Calculus and AP Statistics, our curriculum emphasizes both conceptual understanding and practical application, preparing students for success. We emphasize the ability to explain strategy and thought process in English, so students can communicate effectively in any international setting.

Students are placed into the appropriate math course based on assessment results, teacher recommendations, and demonstrated readiness. Our placement process ensures that every learner, whether continuing from our elementary program or joining from another school, is challenged and supported.

For students who demonstrate exceptional ability and motivation, St. Paul offers acceleration opportunities that allow them to advance through the math pathway. These options are carefully structured to maintain academic rigor while considering each student’s social and emotional readiness.

We build strong mathematical foundations but also nurture a genuine appreciation for mathematics as a creative, logical, and collaborative discipline. Whether exploring new concepts, solving real-world problems, or preparing for international competitions, our math students are encouraged to think critically, work together, and discover the power of math in everyday life.

Competitive Mathematics

Mathematics

The St. Paul Math Club gives students the opportunity to organize, train, and compete in live and online math competitions throughout the school year.

Our purpose is not to single out the very top math students, but to create an inclusive community where students can discover that math is fun, useful, and a powerful tool for building friendships. By working together, students strengthen their problem-solving skills, develop confidence, and enjoy the challenge of applying mathematics to real-world scenarios.

Math Competitions We Participate In

World Mathematics Team Championship

The World Mathematics Team Championship (WMTC) brings together young people from around the globe to solve challenging problems in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. The event’s goals include:

  • Strengthening international understanding and communication
  • Cultivating the spirit of teamwork and collaboration
  • Promoting the exchange of ideas between students, mathematicians, and educators
  • Fostering a love for mathematics and enhancing logical thinking abilities

Through WMTC, St. Paul Mathletes experience how mathematics can bridge cultures, build friendships, and inspire curiosity.

Maths Olympiad

The Maths Olympiad challenges students to think critically and apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations. By integrating math with environmental and physical problem-solving, students see the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. The competition emphasizes:

  • Applying math beyond the classroom
  • Tackling challenges that connect theory with practice
  • Building teamwork through collaboration and exchange of ideas
  • Meeting and learning from peers across schools

This dynamic experience celebrates not only academic achievement, but also the creativity, persistence, and teamwork that fuel success in life.
