Mathematics

Most schools start with rules and computations that almost never relate to daily life. At Pomfret, we start with real-world problems, and then learn the math so we can solve them. The Mathematics Department offers everything from an introductory Integrated Mathematics sequence to advanced calculus and statistics. In addition, our diverse curriculum includes courses in economics and financial literacy.
