At Stanley, 6th grade math matters more than many families expect. How a student does in Course 1 decides whether they move on to Course 2 or into Course 2/3A, a fast-paced class that covers 7th grade math and half of 8th. That leads to Course 3B/Algebra 1 in 8th grade and Geometry or Geometry Advanced as a freshman at Acalanes.

Math placement at Stanley
Stanley looks at a student’s work across the whole year of Course 1, so every chapter test counts. That makes the fall of 6th grade a good time to start with a tutor, while a small gap is still small. Students on the standard path get a foundation solid enough to move ahead later if they choose.
The step up to middle school
Sixth graders arrive at Stanley from four elementary schools, and for the first time they have several teachers, each with their own deadlines. Our tutors help students keep track of it all. We also help with writing, science, history and first-year world languages.
