Laureates Math and Computing Club
Math Education at its Finest
At Laureates, we offer an award-winning after-school program for students across a wide range of abilities—from learners building a foundation to those preparing for national and international contests. Our hybrid classes are small, welcoming, and problem-focused; moreover, continuous diagnostics place each student at the right level so progress feels smooth and confidence grows.We offer an award-winning after-school program for students across a wide range of abilities—from learners who need a solid foundation to those preparing for national and international contests. Our hybrid classes are small, welcoming, and problem-focused. Continuous diagnostics place each student at the right level so progress feels smooth and confidence grows.
Our Awards and Recognitions
As a day school—together with our after-hours clubs—Laureates Academy has been one of the country’s top-performing schools in national math and science contests. In particular, our Grades 7–10 math teams were Canadian champions in the University of Waterloo’s 2024 and 2025 Gauss, Pascal, and Cayley contests. For the full list of championships, please see our Awards and Recognitions page.
Our Approach
At Laureates, every student follows a structured pathway designed for mastery before acceleration. We move forward only when the evidence shows that the previous step is truly secure.
-
Detect and fill prior gaps
We begin with precise diagnostics to uncover any missing skills, then close them with targeted practice. -
Cover the school curriculum
Students master their current grade’s requirements so classroom confidence and results rise naturally. -
Monitor progress continuously
Ongoing checks inform instruction in real time, ensuring each learner is on track and challenged at the right level. -
Enrich and deepen understanding
We go beyond routine exercises to creative, non-standard problems that build reasoning, communication, and insight. -
Apply skills in real problem-solving settings
Students use what they’ve learned to tackle authentic tasks—multi-step problems, explanations, and timed scenarios. -
Accelerate after enrichment
Once depth is secure, we advance to higher-level content at a pace that matches the student’s readiness.
We do not move to the next step until the prior one is complete—then we advance immediately when readiness is demonstrated.
Levels and Programs
Laureates Math Club programs are organized in 4 levels and 2 streams. Our internal assessment determines which of the following levels a student will be assigned.
- Level A: foundational skills
- Level B: intermediate growth
- Level C: advanced school math
- Level D: master class
Curricular Stream
Aligned with Ontario expectations, this stream secures fundamentals and classroom success using a problem-solving approach with short, precise explanations and micro-progressions. Moreover, this stream also creates the foundations for success in Creative Stream.
Creative Stream
For students who move beyond the standard curriculum. We add creative problem solving, proof clarity, and periodic timed mock contests with guided debriefs. Eligibility typically requires being at least one full year ahead on our internal 1,400-point scale.
Day School Option
Students who wish to devote more time and effort to mathematics may prefer our day school program at Laureates Academy for Gifted Students. It follows the Ontario curriculum while allocating additional time to math; consequently, students complete all school requirements and can target the most competitive national and international contests.
Team Laureates
Students in the Creative Stream may write selected contests with Laureates Math Teams. Final decisions rest with the principal and coaching panel; however, selection typically reflects internal assessment scores, results on timed mock contests, and an estimated placement at or above the 50th percentile for the specific contest. In addition, qualified students who are not currently enrolled in the club may join our team for certain contests by paying the registration fee, provided organizer rules are met.
One-On-One Tutoring
In some cases, our internal assessment recommends individual one-on-one tutoring. These sessions focus on specific gaps and are arranged by individual agreement; accordingly, the fees and schedule differ from the group program.
Placement and Movement
Placement is skill-based. Using our internal 1,400-point scale (100 points ≈ one grade), we determine an initial level and stream for each learner. Because diagnostics continue throughout the year, students move between levels—and into or out of the Creative Stream—as soon as the evidence shows readiness. In addition, families receive a concise update each time. Finally, all applicants should book a FREE assessment session as the first step to join the club.
