Students progress through five sequential courses (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus), building a strong mathematical foundation through daily practice, targeted review, and continuous mastery checks. Rather than a traditional lecture-based classroom, the program blends independent, platform-guided learning with structured group tutoring and individualized mentoring, allowing each student to move at a pace suited to their needs while receiving consistent support and accountability from their mentor.

Nature of the Role This position is considered a faith-forming role within the school community. In addition to providing strong academic instruction, the mentor is expected to actively support, model, and teach principles consistent with the Mission and values of AHS and the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Professional Expectations Candidates should be professional in appearance and demeanor and willing and able to serve as ambassadors for the AHS Mission, Honor Code, and Diversity Statement. Personal conduct, public statements, and online presence, both on and off campus, are expected to reflect and support the school's religious mission and educational purpose.
