Mathematics Education for Gifted Secondary School Students 

We offer coursework in advanced mathematics, based on The Elements of Mathematics, to gifted middle school students, providing a bridge between elementary math and advanced high school coursework for talented students. Summer and after-school classes are held in 2 locations in St. Louis County, and an in-school program operates during the school year at McKinley Classical Leadership Academy in the St. Louis Public School District.
 
We accept nominations of 5th and 6th grade students from schools and parents through the spring of each school year. After we receive your student's nomination, you will be invited to attend a parent information meeting, where we will answer questions about how the program works.
 
To nominate a student, choose the link at the left. We will confirm all nominations received by email, and a letter of invite will follow during our nomination season, which begins in December.
