AHS utilizes the Saxon Math curriculum, which is designed around a spiraling-sequence concept, so that math concepts are presented, built upon, and reviewed throughout the entire course. 

The systematizing of the review allows students to better internalize, retain, and comprehend the complexities of math. 

In the early years, math is taught at the same time throughout the school so that students go to the level of math class best suited to them.

For example, a first grade student who is ready for second grade math can attend math with that class.

Students in our middle school are given the option of taking a competency-based, self-paced approach in which they advance as soon as they personally master a given concept. The traditional approach remains an option for those middle school students who prefer it.

At our American Fork campus, comparative testing shows that AHS students are, on average, a grade level ahead on math, and their scores for the math section of the ACT are 25% higher than Utah and national averages.

Equations, functions, and transformations are everywhere!

You want your child to become mathematically astute—an equation master!

You hope your child will understand how to apply math in the “real world.”

In addition to to learning math facts and equations, math and logical reasoning skills aid students in distilling simple concepts in other subjects.

Students learn to apply mathematical reasoning in other aspects of life, too!

For example, students might be read a scripture and identify equations or inequalities that make a principle memorable. While not exactly numerical or mathematical, these are fund ways think about cause and effect and the relative value of  :

Obedience + Diligence => Growth (D&C 130: 18–19)

Specific Praise > Specific Criticism (Psalms 100)

Gratitude > Complaints (D&C 98:7)

Demands < Questions (Alma 5)
