This school year, help your student get ahead with a challenge that inspires them — with after-school enrichment that focuses on higher-order reasoning skills, deep mastery, advanced problem solving, and conceptual understanding — not rote memorization.
Art of Problem Solving Helps Students Take a Problem-First Approach
Since 1993, Art of Problem Solving has trained over 1 million top students worldwide to approach hard problems by breaking them down into familiar parts. We believe students learn best by solving problems they have never seen before. In our classrooms, they lead the discovery process in building conceptual understanding, guided by expert instructors, as they develop critical skills in:
-
critical thinking
-
active learning
-
constructive collaboration
-
effective communication
Expert Instructors Help Students Grow
Our instructors treat the classroom as a conversation, guiding students as they collaborate to solve challenging problems together in real time. The same instructor works with the same cohort throughout the year, building strong interpersonal relationships. Once outstanding students themselves, AoPS instructors regularly train and explore new methods to help our students reach their fullest potential.
Join a Community of Like-Minded Peers Right in Your Neighborhood
Learning is most effective when done collaboratively, through strong community connections. Through our classes and special events, families connect with other problem solvers, building a network of future collaborators, peers, and future friends. Our students don’t just meet in class, they socialize through movie nights, puzzle events, seasonal festivals, and more!
