Kids attend a weekly after-school math class grouped by grade and level, following a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes logical reasoning and problem solving over rote drills. Homework is assigned between sessions, and older students can join competition-math and test-prep tracks.
In-person coding courses for students in 5th grade and up on the Upper East and Upper West Sides. Each course runs twelve 75-minute sessions with at most ten students per instructor, and kids bring their own laptop.
Kids get a personalized math plan after a diagnostic assessment, then work with instructors in small groups on the specific skills they need, from counting and fractions through algebra and SAT prep. Homework help is folded into the sessions.
Kids learn to program at their own pace with guided projects in small groups, building games, animations and apps. Instructors coach students individually as they work through a self-paced curriculum.
Students get one-on-one or small-group tutoring from certified tutors after an academic evaluation, with plans covering math, reading, writing, science and study skills. Older kids can prepare for SAT, ACT and other standardized tests.
Children learn chess in skill-based groups from total beginners to tournament players, with plenty of supervised game play between lessons. School-break and summer camps pair several hours of chess each day with outdoor play and sports.
