Spirit of Math
Where high-performing students thrive on challenge
Spirit of Math is an advanced after-school mathematics school for high-performing students who thrive on challenge and intellectual discovery. Our students are curious, analytical thinkers who want to understand not just how mathematics works, but why.
Through weekly classes for students from Kindergarten to Grade 11, Spirit of Math extends learning beyond the standard classroom. Our rigorous, structured curriculum develops deep mathematical understanding while strengthening reasoning, problem solving, and confidence.
More than Math Tutoring
Spirit of Math is more than tutoring; it is a structured system designed to help advanced learners master mathematics and develop the habits of success that last a lifetime.
Our selective 39-week program is designed for students who consistently perform at a B+ level or higher and are ready for greater challenge. In each 90-minute class, students engage with advanced concepts, problem solving, and collaborative discussion, experiencing depth, rigor, and discovery in every session.
By Grade
Our curriculum builds year by year, from foundations to advanced problem-solving.
Kindergarten
A fun introduction to numeracy, patterns, geometry, and logical thinking through hands-on exploration and collaborative problem solving.
Grades 1–2
Students build strong foundations in number sense and operations while exploring logic, shapes, patterns, and spatial reasoning through engaging problem solving
Grades 3–4
Students strengthen numeracy while tackling increasingly complex logic problems involving integers, fractions, geometry, and data, developing independence in multi-step reasoning.
Grades 5–6
Students dive deeper into core mathematical concepts such as order of operations, factors, multiples and primes, ratios, and rational numbers while developing independence through structured assignments and complex problem solving.
Grades 7–8
Core content and rigorous problem solving develops persistence, risk-taking and advanced reasoning as students explore probability, factorials, combinatorics, rates, and higher-level mathematical patterns.
Grades 9–11
Students develop advanced mathematical thinking through algebra, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms and calculus concepts, intertwined with sophisticated problem-solving techniques and advanced mathematical reasoning.
Core Curriculum
A carefully sequenced program that deepens understanding of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and number theory. Students don’t just learn formulas—they learn why they work and how to apply them in real situations.
Drills
Repetition builds fluency. Drills are designed to strengthen speed and accuracy, ensuring that fundamental operations become effortless. This solid foundation allows students to focus on reasoning, not routine.
Problem Solving
Students tackle advanced problems that require creativity, perseverance, and logic. They learn to think critically, test their ideas, and communicate their reasoning clearly.
Collaborative Group Work
Students learn how to discuss strategies, share discoveries, and build on each other’s insights. Collaboration transforms learning from a solitary task into an engaging team experience that mirrors real-world problem-solving.
Our Teachers
Our teachers receive more than 100 hours of initial training along with continuous professional development. This training goes far beyond learning how to teach the curriculum; it focuses on developing teachers’ own mathematical thinking and pedagogical skills.
At its core, the program emphasizes continuous growth, attracting teachers who are passionate about learning, refining their craft, and challenging both themselves and their students to reach new levels of understanding.
What Students Experience
Each 90-minute class integrates the elements of our approach: drills, core curriculum, problem solving, and collaborative group work. By learning to break down complex challenges and communicate their ideas with others, students develop habits of thinking that prepare them not only for advanced mathematics, but for success in all areas of life.
Students move beyond simply being good at math and develop the confidence, discipline, and intellectual curiosity needed to become the problem solvers and leaders of tomorrow.
