Our curriculum is specifically designed for high-performing math
students in grades 6-12. We present a much broader and deeper
exploration of challenging mathematics than a typical math curriculum
and show students how to apply their knowledge and problem-solving
skills to difficult problems. We help students learn the critical
problem-solving skills necessary for success at mathematics competitions
(such as MATHCOUNTS and the AMC), top universities, and competitive
careers.
Introductory Curriculum
Our Introduction series serves as a complete curriculum for students in grades 6-10.
The series covers the standard Prealgebra-Algebra-Geometry sequence, but at a more advanced
level and with more challenging problems than a typical curriculum. The series also covers
important discrete math topics in Counting & Probability and Number Theory that are usually
underrepresented in typical middle-school and high-school curricula.
