In high school, they tend to build on the math skills that a student has taken from middle school. What's really unique about high school is that if a student has started in the middle school grades taking general math, they may go right into high school in pre algebra or algebra. A high school programme consistently starts with Pre-Algebra or your general math skills and Algebra 1. A lot of kids go on to take Geometry, or Algebra 2. High schools do offer pre Calculus and Calculus. Also in high school we encourage students to not just stop with high school math. If that student is advanced, they can go on to the city college level and do a concurrent enrolment, or they can go on and take Calculus and other subjects.
