Our son was empowered by student support services and the high school counselor to construct a unique path that allows him to pursue mathematics beyond the IB High Level Math that high schools offer. He is taking online classes from a US university and enjoying the challenge these courses afford him. The staff had to go out of their way to arrange it, including testing to justify it, and we appreciate their efforts. For all students, there is enrichment offered in a “push in” format.
