Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a program of study in mathematics and to assist students in their general intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth as Christian thinkers. We want students to:

  • acquire mathematical knowledge and analytical ways of thinking,
  • develop the ability to communicate mathematical ideas,
  • mature as creative mathematicians and problem solvers, and
  • ponder the connections between faith and mathematics.

Ultimately, we seek to serve others and glorify Jesus Christ by preparing scientists, teachers, scholars, and other professionals to use their mathematical gifts with competence and charity.

Learning Standards

In order to monitor the quality of the mathematics program, we maintain a program of assessment based on the following measurable student outcomes.

  1. Core Knowledge. Students will demonstrate knowledge of the main concepts, skills, and facts of the discipline of mathematics.
  2. Communication. Students will be able to communicate mathematical ideas following the standard conventions of writing or speaking in the discipline.
  3. Creativity. Students will demonstrate the ability to formulate and attack a novel problem.
  4. Christian Connection. Students will know how to incorporate their mathematical skills and knowledge into their thinking about their vocations as followers of Christ.
