Description of the Program
The aim of the Young Scholars Program (YSP) is to strengthen the participants' mathematical powers through a deep experience in mathematical thought and effort. Our intention is to broaden and enrich the students' understanding of mathematics rather than to accelerate them through the standard elementary or high school mathematics curriculum.
The Young Scholars Program consists of two programs: the Saturday School-Year program, which consists of twelve sessions throughout the school-year; and the Summer Program, which is a four-week day-camp that requires an application and is significantly more selective. There is no charge for any of our programs.
If you are a student currently in grades seven through twelve who has scored well on the math portion of the ACT, SAT, or other standardized test, or if you enjoy participating in math competitions, or if you simply find mathematics to be an interesting and challenging subject, then we encourage you to attend our Saturday Program. If you fit the above description but are in the sixth through eleventh grades, we encourage you to apply to our Summer Program.
