To help students enhance their mathematical proficiency and achieve outstanding results in competitions, we are launching this Mathematics Competition Program. We warmly invite students who are passionate about mathematics and eager to challenge themselves to join us.

I. Importance and Core Advantages of Mathematics Competitions

A key pathway to developing logical thinking, creativity, and resilience under pressure
Mathematics competitions cultivate essential cognitive skills, helping students gain a competitive edge in academic advancement and laying a solid foundation for future studies in science and related fields.

An advanced pathway for mathematical growth
This program provides students with a structured, forward-looking learning pathway that balances professionalism with long-term development.

Internationally recognized credentials and a strong academic advantage
Mathematics competitions are widely recognized by top secondary schools and universities worldwide. They serve as an important indicator of mathematical ability for institutions such as MIT and Stanford. Approximately 90% of Ivy League admits have participated in math competitions. Many international schools also consider competition results as a key admission criterion. Achieving top 1% or top 5% awards globally enables students to stand out among highly competitive applicants.

A progressive competition system for advanced development
Our school will gradually introduce mathematics competition classes across different grade levels. Based on students’ cognitive development, we have designed a step-by-step learning system that balances engagement and rigor. This allows students to accumulate international competition experience early and prepares them for top-tier contests and overseas university applications.

Breaking fixed mindsets and enhancing comprehensive abilities
Mathematics competitions cover four core areas: algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. While the problems remain within the curriculum scope, they emphasize flexible application and logical reasoning rather than routine calculations. This approach effectively stimulates students’ interest in mathematics, fosters creative problem-solving skills, abstract thinking, and resilience under pressure—capabilities that directly enhance in-school math performance and create a “dimensional advantage.”

II. Enrollment Information

Target Students:
This program is designed for students in Grades 5–7 (aligned with competition age requirements under 14). Students from other grades may pre-register (pending class availability).

Admission Process:
To ensure student quality and alignment with the course pace, admission is conducted through the following two pathways:

Teacher Recommendation:
Students recommended by our school’s mathematics teachers—based on their academic foundation, learning attitude, and intellectual potential—will be granted direct admission without the need for a placement test.
Entrance Assessment for Non-recommended Students:
Students without a teacher recommendation must take a foundational mathematics test organized by the school. Those who pass will be eligible to enroll.

Registration Period:
From now until all seats are filled. (Small class sizes; limited spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Class Schedule:
Summer Session: Monday to Friday, 12:00–13:30

Competition Timeline:
Expected in January 2027

Dear Parents,

To strengthen communication between the school and families, the school will hold a parent-teacher meeting. The arrangements are as follows:

Meeting Dates: September 7 to September 11, 2026 (specific times will be arranged separately by each class).

The exact date and other relevant details for each class will be communicated by the homeroom teacher via the class group. Please pay close attention to group notifications and attend the meeting on time.

This is to inform you accordingly.
