AoPS Academy’s summer courses provide academically rigorous enrichment programs in math, language arts, and science for students ranging from early elementary through high school. Designed to keep students intellectually engaged during the summer, these courses emphasize deep understanding, problem solving, and critical thinking, rather than rote review of school material.

The math summer camps span a wide range of levels. Younger students build foundational skills through interactive, puzzle-based camps that develop number sense, logic, and geometric thinking. Middle and high school students explore topics such as pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and advanced problem solving, with options that support preparation for math contests like AMC 8/10/12 and MATHCOUNTS. Instruction focuses on reasoning, strategy, and explaining solutions clearly.

Language arts camps emphasize writing, reading, and communication skills. Students work on creative storytelling, analytical writing, and argumentation, with older students engaging in activities like scriptwriting, essay development, mock trials, and debate-style discussions. These courses aim to strengthen clarity of thought, structure, and persuasive communication.

AoPS Academy also offers science-focused summer courses, including inquiry-based explorations and contest preparation that encourage curiosity and analytical thinking.

Courses are 3 hours per day (Mon-Fri) for two weeks, or stacked (morning and afternoon camps) for a full day experience. Classes consist of daily live instruction in small classes that promote discussion and collaboration.

AoPS Academy’s summer programs are designed to challenge motivated students, foster a love of learning, and help them enter the next school year with stronger skills and greater confidence.
