Virginia School of Math

Review, Support, Look Ahead

Year-round, weekend, in-person math classes. Build your math on a solid foundation.

Every student has a unique background, comfort level, and attitude towards math. Students may also not get the attention or help they need in school and could either use extra support or more of a challenge.

Fairfax Collegiate's new in-person, weekend Virginia School of Math helps students to master the fundamentals and then work ahead at their own pace. When it comes to math education, we believe:

• Daily, deliberate practice is key to progress in math
• Every math student should have a human mentor
• In-person math instruction is more effective than online instruction
• Math problems should be worked out by hand
• Math students learn at different rates and need personalized work
• Asynchronous computer programs and games can't teach math sufficiently
• For K-12 math, calculators are used too often as a crutch

The Virginia School of Math meets in-person for weekend classes starting on September 9. Each Virginia School of Math course complements and goes beyond its corresponding public school course. Each course also:

• Aligns to the Virginia Standards of Learning, so parents can be sure that each course will cover the same topics as their children’s school year math classes at a minimum
• Includes a diagnostic test to help instructors determine how to best help each student
• Allows our instructors to provide frequent individual assistance, feedback, and encouragement to each student, given our small class sizes

Space in these in-person classes is limited. See our course list below and register now to help your child excel in math this year.

Classes start September 9, 2023. Registration is open now.
