St. Maximilian Kolbe starts the Honors Math program in 5th grade. During the 5th grade year, the curriculum is enriched. During the 6th grade year, it is accelerated to include all of 6th grade and half of 7th grade. When students reach the 7th grade, the curriculum includes the 2nd half of 7th grade and all of 8th grade. In 8th grade the students complete the Algebra 1 course.
