(125 Lessons)
Saxon Advanced Math is designed for students working at roughly a 11th–12th Grade / Pre-Calculus level, but placement is based on mastered skills rather than age. The most reliable way to confirm the right starting point is to take the free placement test.
Most students complete Saxon Advanced Math in one school year at a pace of about four to five lessons per week. You can move faster or slower — the program is self-paced, so spend extra time on tougher topics and move quickly through ones your student already knows.
Our video lessons and online grading follow the Saxon Advanced Math 2nd edition, and the exact materials are listed above with links to buy them. A Homeschool Kit bundles the student textbook, tests, and solutions; you can also purchase those components separately.
