In grade 7 and grade 8, we teach mathematics five periods per week in German or in English.

Grade 7
For students requiring additional assistance in 7th grade, we offer the opportunity to improve their math skills through two additional MathLab classes per week (MathLab is mandatory for students earning a 4- or lower in math).

Grade 8
In grade 8, each mathematics class has a team teacher who assists the regular teacher one class period per week. Students will take the German mathematics test Vera 8 and the English Stanford Test. Both tests results will be used to evaluate students‘ math skills and math competencies. These tests will not affect the students’ math grades.

In grade 9 and grade 10, we teach mathematics four periods per week in German or in English. For both grade levels, each mathematics class has a team teacher who assists the regular teacher one class period per week.

Grade 10
In grade 10, the written mathematics exam for the MSA (middle school certificate) takes place within the context of the MSA. Presentation tests with a focus on mathematics are possible.

Grades 11-12
For students in the Abitur program, we offer:

    • Honors Math – Leistungskurs (five periods a week) or
    • Basic course in Mathematics – Grundkurs (three periods a week)

Written and oral final examinations (centralized exams) are conducted annually in mathematics and presentation exams (5. PK) with a focus on mathematics are possible. In recent years, students have successfully graduated from our high school with the Hans-Riedel-Fachpreis für Mathematik.

For students in the Diploma program, we offer:

    • Algebra II
    • Precalculus
    • AP Calculus AB & BC
    • AP Statistics

Each year, increasing numbers students have earned college credit as a result their positive performance on AP tests.

Enrichment Opportunities

Accelerated math opportunities are available in both languages for students with a special interest in mathematics for grades 7-12 through our Accelerated Math activity.  The Accelerated Math activity is offered twice per week where we promote students’ mathematical talents and prepare them for a variety of math competitions.  For more information please visit Math Department Website for Extracurricular Activities 

Each year we support the participation of students in many mathematics competitions:
