Because Saxon Math does not teach all the concepts on the newly redesigned PSAT and SAT, Dr. Shormann wrote a new curriculum, based on John Saxon's original teaching methods that teaches every concept on the redesigned exams as well as the ACT. Written from a biblical and historical perspective, Shormann Math is a 21st Century curriculum that includes concepts like technology applications, computer math, current real-world word problems, and non-standard solutions not taught in Saxon Math. Hosted in a state-of-the-art self-paced eLearning system, similar to college math classes, these courses feature expert video instruction, automated grading, video solutions, Q&A email support, and more!
