Qualification

The Math Olympiad Training classes are extra-curricular programs designed to fill in the gaps, expand the scope, and add depth to the study of mathematics.  The requirements for each program specify the course subjects that the students should either have completed or will be taking concurrently at schools.  Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis for qualified students.  Some programs require a qualifying exam before a student can be registered.  Please email us at info@AvidAcademy.com or call us at (949) 725-2200 to make an appointment for taking the qualifying exam.
