Frequently Asked Questions

Advice

Q) My child isn't really interested in the (subject), does it make sense for them to take one of your classes?
Yes. We consistently convert skeptics. Sit them down in front of the computer and have them choose the course that "seems" most interesting. Tell them they have to pick at least one ;)


Q) When is my child ready to take a particular class?
Each course is designed for different outcomes and the best way to determine if your student is ready is to take a look at the prerequisites for the course that you are interested in.


Q) What class is best for my child to take?
This is easier answered than you may think. First take a look at our suggested courses for students. Sit your child down in front of our website, have them read over the descriptions. See what they say. That can often be a good first start.


Q) My child is having trouble with mathematics, should (s)he take Algebra in Motion™?
It really depends on the student. Generally, if your student has already taken Algebra for over a year, then it may not make sense to have them take AiM™. If, however, your student is below or far below grade level, then it may not make sense to have them take Algebra in Motion as that class requires fluency with fractions, decimals, and order of operations.
Logistics

Q) Does my child need to bring a lunch to your summer camps?
Yes. We will have two short breaks and a lunch break during the day. Some students like to have a few snacks in addition to their lunch.


Q) Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. If you pay up front you will receive a 5% discount on the courses. Additionally, our year long courses are discounted as well.


Q) When should I drop off my child?
You should plan to drop your child off no less than 5 minutes before the start of the course or camp.


Q) Is there a recommended place where I can work while my child is in class?
Yes, you are welcome to stay the entire time at our QuantumCafe™. We have tables, wifi, coffee, and tea.
