Courses
- Advanced Middle School Math
This course covers the main topics in middle school math. Students will be mastering these topics while solving challenging problems. They go above and beyond Common Core standards in this brain-stimulating course. Students also solve mathematical puzzles and cyphers and learn topics that are typically not covered at traditional school settings.
Recommended Grade Levels: Although this course is typically recommended for students in grades 4th-8th, and anyone in 8th grade or below may enroll, we encourage younger students to participate as well!
Course Description: This course will familiarize students with the essential concepts and techniques in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Number Theory and Combinatorics. We will have a specific emphasis on problem solving where the students will constantly be challenged to think creatively.
- Advanced High School Math
This course covers topics in trigonometry, advanced algebra, precalculus and advanced geometry, but excludes calculus. Our curriculum also includes some additional challenging and brain-stimulating topics outside of the traditional school curriculum.
Recommended Grade Levels: Although we do not limit students by grade level, this course is typically recommended for advanced 7th and 8th graders and high school students.
Course Description: This course will familiarize students with the essential concepts and techniques in Algebra II, PreCalculus, Combinatorics, Number Theory, and Geometry. We will have a specific emphasis on problem solving where the students will constantly be challenged to think creatively.
