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 Summer 2026. Applications for the Summer 2026 Math Academy are now open
Summer Math Academy 2026 (In-Person Program) - Applications are Now Open!
Date: August 10 - 14, 2026 (one week)
Schedule: Monday - Friday; 10am - 4:30pm, with a 1 hour lunch break from 12pm - 1pm
Instructor: Asia Majeed, PhD Candidate
Course Title: Advanced Mathematical Structures and Applications
Course Description: This course introduces students to advanced mathematical thinking through the study of algebraic structures, graph theory, mathematical induction, proof, and combinatorics. Students will investigate how mathematicians define new mathematical systems, analyze networks and relationships, construct rigorous proofs, and solve complex counting problems. At the end of the program, students will use teamwork and analytical problem-solving skills to research an application of their choice in computer science, economics, finance, engineering, or data science.
Cost
The cost of the program is $450+tax for the one week term.
Bursaries are available. Please wait until you've been accepted into Math Academy before requesting a bursary here.
Location
University of Toronto - St. George Campus (In-Person), Exact Room and Building location will be announced after your acceptance to the program.
Apply
Students must first apply for the program and be accepted in order to register. Successful applicants will be informed of their acceptance as soon as possible.
Application Deadline: Sunday July 19, 2026
