Enrollment is now open for our After School Math Program for Grades 6-10! To express interest, please complete the form in the Enrollment section.
We're excited to announce that enrollment is now open for our After-School Math Enrichment Program for students in Grades 6 through 10! Currently, we focus on math for these grades, but we're planning to add Advanced Math for High School and SAT/ACT Prep courses soon.
Our courses use Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) textbooks, ensuring a thorough understanding of key math concepts essential for academic excellence. Our program features collaborative learning with study groups of 10-12 students, promoting peer interaction and enhancing problem-solving skills. This setup prepares students for both exams and real-world challenges.
Join us on this exciting journey of growth and achievement! We aim to inspire a love for learning beyond the traditional classroom. Our engaging activities not only teach math but also develop essential skills like mental calculations. We conduct frequent exams and provide regular homework to reinforce learning, and students explore advanced topics needed for exams like the SAT/ACT.
Additionally, our timed quizzes sharpen problem-solving abilities, building confidence and resilience. Our holistic approach fosters academic excellence and empowers students for a bright future full of opportunities.

Textbook: Introduction to Algebra by Richard Rusczyk
(AoPS Curriculum)
Introduction to Algebra delves deeper into algebraic concepts than traditional high school courses. It encompasses a comprehensive review of prealgebra topics like rates and inequalities, leading into the exploration of linear and quadratic equations, graphing, functions, and complex numbers. Additionally, it touches upon intriguing topics such as the connection between algebra and Pythagorean triples, as well as compound interest. The content closely aligns with the curriculum of Wake County public schools' Math 1, excluding least squares regression, and Math 2, with the exception of conditional probability and geometry topics.
