Beginner: Problem Solving 1
| Description | This course is designed for students who are relatively new to competition mathematics, including those who may have participated in a few contests or are familiar with lower-level competitions. It introduces the joys of problem-solving while building on any early exposure students may already have. The course covers concepts and techniques that go beyond the standard school curriculum, helping students strengthen their understanding and approach. It also develops a solid foundation for future math competitions and equips students with the fundamental skills needed to progress to the next level. |

| Class Structure | 30-45 minute lesson where a new concept is taught through class discussion and example problems, followed by time for the students to work together on solving problems, ask questions, and receive guidance on using the best methods to solve the problems. Students will be assigned 2-3 problems per week as homework. To benefit from the class, a minimum of one hour a week outside of class should be spent on practicing the problems and concepts that were learned. However, students should not expect to achieve full mastery of the material by doing only the minimum effort. To get the absolute most out of the class, they should attempt more problems from the handout daily and seek advice during instructor office hours. |

Students will be assigned 2-3 problems a week as homework with an expected minimum time requirement of 1-2 hours per week to be able to benefit from the class. However, students should not expect to achieve full mastery of the material by doing only the minimum. To get the absolute most out of the class, they should attempt more problems from the handout daily and seek advice via email. The instructor will seek to respond with a helpful hint in the right direction within 24 hours of receiving an email. Students should be specific on what ideas they have so far in a problem so guidance can be most effectively given. |

| Start Date | September 11th, 2026 |
| Tuition | $200 per module • $750 for all four modules |
| Course Structure | There are 6 lessons per module. Each pre-recorded lesson is approximately 60 minutes long and includes time spent discussing foundational concepts and solving problems to apply the concepts. Students will be encouraged to pause the video and try problems at various points before the problems are solved in the video. Each lesson has an accompanying problem set of 20 problems for the students to practice the concept after watching the video. Three problems from each set will be assigned as homework for the student to submit for feedback. |

Additional problems are then presented for students to attempt independently; students are encouraged to pause the video, work through these problems, and then review the provided solutions. Students will be assigned 2–3 homework problems per week, and the instructor will provide feedback on submitted work. To benefit meaningfully from the course, students should plan to spend at least one hour per week outside of the lessons practicing the concepts and problems introduced in class. However, this minimum level of engagement is not sufficient for full mastery. Students who wish to maximize their progress are strongly encouraged to attempt additional problems from the handouts on a regular basis and to seek clarification or guidance during instructor office hours. |

Olympiad Physics Courses
Olympiad Physics Level 1
| Description | The Level 1 course is intended to be the first encounter with physics problem solving for students with strong math skills. This course will guide students towards successful first participation at the F = ma competition, which leads to the USAPhO and eventually to the International Physics Olympiads. After this class, students are expected to solve about half of the problems needed to go to the USAPhO. The curriculum will cover the same areas as the F = ma competition, i.e., parts of classical mechanics, at a level beyond Honors / Pre-AP high-school physics. This course will not involve calculus. Recommended for student with no prior experience with physics problem solving. Prerequisites: self-motivation and strong math skills at Algebra 2 level. |
|---|---|
| Competition Prep | F=ma Competition |
| Level | Level 1 (Readiness Guide) |
| When | Saturday 10:00am - 11:00pm CT |
| Tuition | $645 per semester • $1,161 for full year (save $129 if paid by August 31st!) |
| Course Size | Maximum 25 students, minimum of 6 |
| Main Goal | After taking this course, students will be ready to solve about a third of the problems at the annual F = ma competition in January, considered a great accomplishment for first-time participants and equivalent to passing AMC-10/12 math competition. |
| Note | Fall and Spring Semester classes are identical, covering the same areas and the same problems. If you took one of them already or are currently taking it, we do not recommend repeating it in a future semester. If a class repeat is what you really want, please contact us first. |
| Course Structure |
This course requires the student to work independently through the material that is posted online weekly. This course is a self-taught, instructor-assisted online learning environment with an experienced Teaching Assistant who provides a detailed feedback about what went wrong with homework problems. This feedback is a great benefit for our students. Students must be self-disciplined and should expect to participate in the program as designed.

To maximize learning, students are strongly encouraged to attend the weekly online Q&A session. These sessions are recorded and posted online so students who miss them can review them at a later time. While attendance of Q&A Sessions is not mandatory, it is highly recommended.
|
| Additional Benefits | This course will go a long way to prepare the kids for at least a part of the CBE (Credit by Exam) High School Physics tests, so they can test out of the High School Physics and take AP Physics as soon as the 9th or 10th grade. Again, our primary goal is to prepare the kids for physics competitions; CBE readiness is a side benefit. |
| Expected Prior Knowledge | No prior exposure to physics is required. Very strong math skills are needed equivalent to Algebra 2, especially solving linear and quadratic equations, trigonomertic identities, vector algebra, and exponential and logarithmic functions. |
| Certificate Requirement | Complete the end of semester survey. |
Olympiad Physics Level 2
| Description | The Level 2 course is intended to be the continuation of the Level 1 course, going deeper into physics problem solving and taking the students further in physics competitions. After this class students are expected to get the points needed to go to the USAPhO. The curriculum will cover the same areas as the F = ma competition, i.e., parts of classical mechanics, at a level beyond AP physics. This course will not require calculus, but we will learn some of it. Recommended for students who took Level 1 class or at least Honors / PreAP high school physics. Prerequisites: strong self-motivation, math skills at Precalculus level, our Level 1 class or at least Honors / Pre-AP Physics. |

Olympiad Physics Level 3
| Description | The Level 3 course is the continuation of the Level 2 course, going deeper and broader into physics problem solving and taking the students further in physics competitions. The curriculum will cover selected problems from areas of physics needed to succeed at the USAPhO competition: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Fluids, Relativity, Waves, Optics, and Nuclear and Atomic Physics, all at a level well beyond AP physics. Each area will be covered over two weekly units with representative problems of serious difficulty. This course requires some calculus (basic differentiation and integration) and will definitely require students to be self-motivated and work very hard for each class. The TA's for this class are our former students who got medals at the USAPhO. Prerequisites: strong self-motivation, proficiency with basic calculus, our Level 2 class or at least 12 points on an earlier F=ma exam. AP Physics highly recommended. |
