The exam helps middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics. It also paves the way to more challenging high school exams and competitions, such as the AMC 10/12, the American Invitational Math Examination (AIME), and the USA Mathematical Olympiad. Qualifying scores on any or all of these examinations can have an enormous impact on a student’s chances of acceptance to top STEM schools, such as MIT, Caltech, Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley, and more. ![Certificate of Achievement, Fall 2020 Elite Math Competition Club, awarded to Jonathan Song, with LEAD and CFGL logos](https://media.eliteprep.com/EMC2-Certificate-webp-w800.webp) ## Students will take away: - **The opportunity to participate in and qualify for a variety of highly respected mathematics competitions** - **Invaluable experience that will help them develop critical skills in analysis and problem-solving** - **A head start in mathematics that will keep them at the head of the class throughout high school and college** - **An official certificate of achievement** ### **Open to students everywhere in grades 6–8 // Online classes // Join the program any time!** ———\ Summer 2026 Session\ June 12 – July 31, 2026\ Live Online Classes **Lower Division (6th-8th Graders)**\ Friday • 10:00am–12:00pm PT **Upper Division (9th-10th Graders)**\ Friday • 3:00pm–5:00pm PT ## **Ready to get started?** **Fill out the form below, and we’ll get back to you with tuition information and answers to your questions as soon as possible!
