Harrison Hill offers many excellent school programs for students and their parents.

Balanced Math Program

Harrison Hill School of Inquiry teachers use a Balanced Math Program.  The purpose of a Balanced Math Program is to "build mathematically powerful students who can solve real-life problems, communicate their understanding to others and perform well on standardized achievement tests. "    Our teachers use a series of steps to support the balanced program.  They include: math review, conceptual understanding and performance tasks, problem-solving and math application, and mastery of math facts.
