Math Programs

Mathematics for Grades K-12
MWSM offers top-quality instruction in mathematics for children grades K-12. We accept children of all levels. Once admitted, we arrange classes by level, according to the placement tests initially, and subsequently based on the results of our regular assessments. We help those who struggle with math feel more confident in their abilities and more comfortable in their regular school. Those who were "OK" in math but considered it rather boring, we hope will find out that math is exciting and beautiful. We will give them a chance to excel, to try a taste of logic puzzles, math competitions and in general intellectual fun. Those who are doing well in math class and believe that they do not need additional training, will be challenged to their capacity and will be given a chance to shine in national competitions.

>>> Course Description

Math Challenge

Math Challenge Class is offered as a 10 session program in spring, or as a 12 session program in summer. This class provides an opportunity to cover a number of advanced topics for which there is usually no time in the mainstream curriculum.  In addition, the class offers a variety of unusual problems, including those drawn from two decades of math competitions all over the world. Math Challenge classes are offered at three levels: lower elementary, upper elementary, and middle school. The class content is developed new for each session to make sure students can take it in subsequent years if desired.

Johns Hopkins CTY tests (SAT) Preparation

MWSM offers preparation for the SAT Test given annually as part of admission criteria to Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) admissions. Much of the preparation for JHU CTY occurs within our standard program, and we expect that many of the students who have been with us for several years are in good shape to succeed on this test. We also offer a series of workshops in the fall-winter prior to the January SAT test deadline. We believe that both our long-term students, and especially those who joined us more recently benefit from these workshops a lot. Information about these workshops is usually posted on this page at the beginning of the school year in September-October time frame.

Summer SAT preparation class would be a great help for those students who are considering applying to JHU CTY next January. We highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen your SAT taking skills without the stress and the load of extra work during the school year.

Have your child try one of our classes free of charge and experience the MWSM difference!
