How do I know if I am ready for the Summer Program?

Here are things students can review prior to proceeding with their application for admission.

Consider readiness based on any relevant math competition experience

• Students with math competition experience can review how our courses align with their experience.
• Students with no math competition experience should not be discouraged from applying as this is why we have an application process. If admitted, our staff will help make recommendations on course placement based on a holistic review of their application and their desired areas of interest.  In some cases, the student might be required to take a placement test.

Understand our courses are challenging and beyond the scope of regular/accelerated/honor classes in school settings. There is an entry level course in each of the four areas: Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory and Combinatorics. Each of these entry level courses will be challenging for most able young minds because these are contest mathematics courses. In particular, Algebra 1.5 is harder than any algebra course (including Algebra 1 and 2) taught in high schools, and Math Counts with Proofs is beyond the requirements for the MathCounts competitions (at state and national levels).
