Math Core · Foundations

Build the math that everything else depends on.

Math Core I rebuilds number sense, fraction fluency, and pre-algebra readiness through a deliberately sequenced 16-session course.

16 sessions
1 hr 45 min each
Once weekly* school year
$300* per month

*Summer terms meet twice weekly and complete the same 16-session course in eight weeks. Summer tuition is $600 per month.

Course fit

The right starting point when the basics are not yet automatic.

This course is designed for students who

  • understand many individual math ideas but make frequent foundational errors
  • need greater confidence with integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, or percentages
  • are approaching algebra or SAT preparation without dependable prerequisite fluency
  • would benefit from substantial, targeted practice—not occasional homework help
