Who is the Math Circle for?

The Math Circle is an online program for gifted children that gives them a structured, stress-free pathway to achieving success in math olympiads and tests.
How is Huntley Math different from other math enrichment programs and test prep services?

Several ways! The courses we offer were designed only after seeing the success that our own children achieved by following the curriculum and practicing the material. Students learn math by doing. So less boring lectures, more interactive discussion that engages students and helps them understand concepts in an organic manner, via problem solving. Students are only given material in chunks that they can wrestle with. This means that there are more sessions to cover the same material, but students are better prepared and can experience the satisfaction of true learning. Our mission first and foremost is to demystify math and math olympiads/contests, hence every effort is made to keep costs deliberately low even while ensuring that the quality of study material is exceptionally high.
