The Academic Curriculum is geared towards preparing students for mathematics contests, such as AMC 8/10/12, AIME, ARML, MATHCOUNTS, USAMO (USA Math Olympiad), and IMO (International Math Olympiad). Students gain greater interest in Math, better skills in problem solving and critical thinking, and more confidence in facing academic challenges. With an outstanding performance in one or more of these contests, students will gain considerable recognitions in their college applications. Communication and Leadership Development: The setup of the programs encourages student participation, helps improve communication and leadership skills. Confidence sparkles when students talk about the things they are really interested, with the peers who share the same interest. With the guidance of the experienced coaches, students learn how to effectively articulate their thinking processes. Students are trained to become better leaders and communicators in the field they are good at. The Evening Seminars focus on introduction to advanced mathematics topics, preview of Math related college majors and professional careers. Entry Level Program: This year we once again have an entry level program for students who have the aptitude in Math and interested in more challenges but haven’t had opportunities to shine in any contests. These students will be admitted based on a strong recommendation from a Math teacher or mentor, and a strong parent statement detailing the student’s Math talents, grades in school, and positive attitude towards aiming higher in order to reaching one’s potential to the fullest. The assessment test is used for placement only in the Entry Level Program. Overall, this program is for future leaders in all fields that require strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
The general requirement for age for the residential program is 12 to 17. Younger students may be admitted based on their personal maturity and mathematical level. Automatic Qualification. Students who have one of the following accomplishments automatically qualify.
