Mathematics

Kindergarten and 1st Grade Levels

For our students learning at kindergarten and first grade levels of math, we use a curriculum which emphasizes computation and high level reasoning.  A very strong foundation with computation fluency is crucial for the pace at which gifted students will be learning as they progress through higher levels of math.  Students work one-on-one with an instructor to ensure accurate pacing.

Elementary & Intermediate Levels: Beast Academy

In the 2021-2022 school year, Cyprus began using Beast Academy by Art of Problem Solving for its elementary level curriculum.  Beast Academy is an advanced curriculum that was created with gifted learners in mind. We have found that it immediately engages students' minds and problem solving skills, and covers the math progression in more depth and at higher levels at an earlier age than what we found with Singapore Math.  Cyprus Classical Academy assesses its students for placement in math and allows for unlimited ability-based acceleration.
