Math Academy

The Math Academy is offered in-person at the University of Toronto – St. George campus.

Details

Math Academy is a challenging, one-week, intensive, enrichment experience for students in grades 9-12 with very strong mathematical thinking ability. Students are accepted into the program on the basis of their solutions to a problem set which is aimed at highlighting their ability to think mathematically and creatively rather than testing for specific curricular knowledge.

The program is typically run during the summer and march break. Each one-week term is a standalone special topics course that goes in-depth on a single topic. The topic will be creative, fun, and somewhat abstract; in other words, what mathematicians consider “real math.” Math Academy includes both lecture-style teaching and significant time devoted to independent and small-group problem-solving.

Math Academy will be organized in-person over March Break and Summer each year, with the next Math Academy happening in March 2026. Below you will find the schedule, offerings and descriptions for the 2026 March Break Math Academy.
