About AoPS Academy

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.

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!
