Spotlight on Calculus Class

“I really desire to connect every single lesson in my Calculus and Latin classes to the greater purpose and heart of Regents as a school,” says teacher Olivia Didat. “I never want my students to lose perspective of the reason why we are here: to learn about who God is through the lens of different subjects and grow in our love for Him! This may be difficult to do especially in my Calculus class, but I hope to always bring Truth and the bigger picture into every class.”

Miss Didat became a Christian during her time at Purdue University where she received her B.S. in Biological Engineering. “Mathematics is part of the reason I started believing in a creator before I came to know Jesus Christ as my savior, so I am very passionate to show my students how we can study math in a way that glorifies God!”

Although Calculus can be challenging at times, Miss Didat keeps students engaged with the material. Recently she challenged the students to write and perform a rap about what they were learning for extra credit.
