ORMC Summer sessions are not open to regular ORMC students. They are meant to give other children a taste of the Math Circle culture.
Summer 2022 enrollment is now open. If the interest is substantial, enrollment will be based on results of assessment tests. The time and location of the tests will be announced a bit later right here.
If the Covid-19 situation does not worsen, all the ORMC Summer 2022 classes will be taught in person.
Please do not apply if your child will have to miss more than two classes. Please see the Summer 2022 schedule below.
Please do not apply to the BNP (K-1) class if your child cannot yet read on their own, understand simple word problems or add and subtract two-digit numbers.

Donations form a crucial component of the Circle's budget. Donations at the level of $250 per child per quarter are needed to sustain the high quality of our program.
