About AoPS Academy

AoPS Academy is part of Art of Problem Solving (AoPS), a global leader in advanced K-12 math education. Since 1993, AoPS has helped discover, inspire, and train the next generation of great problem solvers - students who are excited by challenges, motivated to stretch their thinking, and eager to dive deep into complex ideas.

AoPS Academy brings the AoPS methodology to small, live, physical and virtual classrooms. We offer a world-class curriculum in math, science, and language arts for students in grades 1-12, seeking to build an environment where exploration meets challenge right in your local neighborhood. Students learn in small classes led by accomplished instructors and collaborate with a peer group who share their passion for learning. We have opened 20+ centers across the nation since 2016 and are still growing!


We focus on reasoning, creativity, rigorous problem-solving, and joyful intellectual challenge. Many of our students go on to excel in math Olympiads and other high-level competitions, but above all, they learn to think deeply and independently.

If you're passionate about academically ambitious learners and believe students rise to the level of challenge they're given, you'll feel right at home here.
