Academics

Proof School is a full-curriculum day school that emphasizes communication, collaboration, and problem solving. The school is accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

The school year is divided into 5 'blocks', each of which consist of 6 normal academic weeks and a build week.

Each student has 5 courses: 4 'morning' courses that vary across grades, and a math class. The morning courses meet twice a week: once for 70 minutes, and once for 90 minutes. The math courses meet for two hours and ten minutes every day.

The (non-post-calculus) math classes focus on a different subject each block: Block 1 is Combinatorics, Block 2 is Algebra, Block 3 is Geometry, Block 4 is Algebra and Pre-Calculus, and Block 5 is Number Theory.
