Boot Camp is designed to prepare students with the necessary skills needed for the math course they will be taking during the 2022-2023 school year. We offer camp for students entering Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Precalculus. The two-week session will be spent reviewing prerequisite knowledge and introducing new concepts that will be taught during the upcoming school year. Students will receive lessons that are hands-on and interactive. The program is taught by Langley High School math teachers. Class sizes are small (around 15 students), so students receive lots of individual attention and continuous feedback. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqxZU3z7YXwcshw7XS_yMchKQMTB1ELA9qVzrFcPda154P8g/viewform
