What makes your Math program unique?

Our Math classes follow the Singapore Math curriculum in the elementary years, building strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and deep conceptual understanding.

For advanced middle and high school students, we use the Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) curriculum—a rigorous, challenging program that develops higher-level reasoning skills and prepares students for advanced math courses, competitions, and college-level work.

All classes are taught in small groups so every child receives personal attention and support. We also offer private classes.

How do Coding classes work?

While we do not offer individual trial classes, parents have the right to withdraw their child during the first three weeks of starting classes, if the class isn’t the right fit for their child. In this case, we will refund the tuition for the remaining classes. Full refund terms are available on our Policy page.

Missed classes are non-refundable, but students are welcome to attend unlimited makeup classes within the same session. All makeup classes must be scheduled and completed before the session ends.

If we need to cancel a class, we will make every effort to schedule a makeup. If a makeup cannot be arranged, you will receive either a credit toward the next semester or a full refund.

Math and Logic students are required to purchase a specific workbook set (details will be shared after registration). For in-person students, books will be available for purchase directly from us. For online students, details on how to order books will be shared upon registration.

Coding and Robotics students must bring a laptop or Chromebook to each class.

Enrollment is based on your child’s age and/or current skill level. We recommend reviewing the class descriptions for prerequisites, and contacting us to request a placement assessment if needed.
