This math program was founded by the former head coach of the renowned Phillips Exeter Academy math team and the U.S.A. International Math Olympiad team, and its curriculum and pedagogy are based on the experiences of the teaching staff working with avid students on these math teams.
IDEA MATH provides three main series. The School Enrichment series covers the standard school curriculum with extra depth and breadth. Extracurricular series covers the standard school curriculum with extensions to math contests. In the extracurricular series, for younger students, courses cover the fundamentals of algebra, geometry, number sense, and combinatorics; for more advanced students there are courses all the way up to the Olympiad level. The Contest Edge series offers additional practice for all levels of math contests.
Courses in the extracurricular series will be offered in the IDEA MATH summer programs. Students can begin attending IDEA MATH programs as young as 4th grade through their senior year in high school. With the opportunity to learn from their peers as well as their teachers, they are certain to develop more vital skills and abilities in the world of mathematics by the time the program closes for the year.
