Strong foundations.
Advanced Mathematics.

Mathematics

We build a firm grasp of basic mathematics, then move through the school curriculum at an accelerated pace before tackling proofs and Olympiad problems.

Advanced Mathematics

Physics

Classical mechanics and the mathematical reasoning behind physical systems.

A place to begin

You do not need to arrive
with every answer.

Bring a question you care about and a willingness to work. We want to understand how you learn.

How to apply
Is previous Olympiad experience required?

No. The application gives you a chance to show your reasoning directly. We consider what you have done with the opportunities available to you.

Can a parent or guardian help?

Yes, with contact details and consent. The student should write the essays and explain their own mathematical thinking.

Who can I speak to?

Contact our team for help with application questions.

Support the work

A young mind.
