Welcome to ORMC

Summer 2023 Session Information

  • The Summer quarter enrollment is now open.  It will close on 6/10.

  • No classes on Sunday, 7/2, the Independence Day weekend.

  • The Summer session is not open to regular ORMC students. It is meant to give children outside of our regular ranks a taste of the Math Circle culture.

Donations:

Donations form a crucial component of the Circle's budget. Quarterly donations at the level of $250 per student are needed to sustain the high quality of our program.  Please consider ORMC as a part of your giving plans this season! Donations are not a factor in enrollment decisions and do not entitle your child to enrollment.

Satellite Math Circles

In the academic year 2022-23, an ORMC Advanced 1 student, named Lawrence Pang, along with his six friends, continued their ORMC Satellite Program for students in grades 2-3 at Wittmann Elementary School. This year's class was moved to an in-person format, doubling the number of students. The students found the curriculum and Math Circle methods to be vastly more fun and engaging, especially with the in-person format and interpersonal interaction that comes with it. Lawrence and his team plan to continue in-person classes to expand their community impact and help everyone interested get the Math Circle experience.
