Math Enrichment
Building strong, flexible mathematical thinkers through research-based problem solving and advanced reasoning for grades 3-8.
Our mathematics enrichment program builds strong, flexible mathematical thinkers through a research-based progression of multi-step problem solving, visual modeling, and advanced reasoning. Students work on grade-level and above-grade concepts using non-routine challenges and competition-style problems from Math Olympiad and Math Kangaroo. The program deepens conceptual understanding and strengthens foundational skills, helping students confidently progress toward advanced math pathways in a supportive, developmentally appropriate environment.
