Highlight
It is a place for advanced elementary school, middle school, and high school students who love math to expand their problems solving skills and learn advanced techniques, all while having fun!
This camp is to stimulate interest and cultivate the passion for mathematics, to develop problem-solving, analytical, and creative thinking skills, to build a solid foundation in the core competency and well-rounded soft skills for pursuing higher level study, and careers in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, and technology.
Camp students have been very successful in advanced math contests and competitions, such as AMC 8/10/12, AIME, USA(J)MO, MathCounts, ARML, ZIML, and others, which helps set them apart in college applications and career advancement.

Areteem Summer and Winter Camp Programs Refund Policy
If you complete all the required application documents but are denied admission to the camp, the tuition (minus a $50 application fee) will be refunded in full.
Regardless of the completion status of the required application documents:
If the student cancels enrollment 61 days before the program starts, the amount of the camp tuition, minus a $200 administrative fee, will be refunded.
For cancellation requests made between 30 and 60 days before the program starts, 50% of the tuition will be refunded.
No refund is available within 1 month of the program start date.
Areteem reserves the right to cancel a camp at any time (due to low enrollment or any other unforeseen reason). In the result of a cancellation, students will be notified as soon as possible. Students in camps canceled before the start date are entitled to a full refund. In the extreme event that Areteem needs to cancel a camp that has already started, students will receive a prorated refund.
Areteem Institute is an educational institution that develops and provides in-depth and advanced math and science programs for High School, Middle School, and Elementary School students and teachers. Areteem programs are accredited supplementary programs by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges). The curricula meet and exceed the Common Core State Standards and we are listed under the Enrichment Programs section of the Naviance online college readiness system for students, teachers, and school districts across the US.
The Areteem courses are designed and developed by educational experts and industry professionals to bring real-world applications into STEM education. The programs are ideal for students who wish to win in Math Competitions (AMC, AIME, USAMO, IMO, ARML, MathCounts, Math League, Math Olympiad, ZIML, etc.), Science Fairs (County Science Fairs, State Science Fairs, national programs like Intel Science and Engineering Fair, etc.) and Science Olympiad, or purely want to enrich their academic lives by taking more challenges and developing outstanding analytical, logical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. AP and SAT/ACT courses are available as well. Classes are usually offered in groups. Private coaching is available to students who take the group lessons and are recommended by the instructors.
Dr. Kevin Wang, Areteem Institute Director as well as Math Zoom Academy founding Director and Head Coach since 2006. Dr. Kevin Wang is a former China Team member for the International Olympiad. Dr. Wang was the top scorer in China in AMC and AIME, and the winner of multiple national & international contests in math and science in China. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University and worked as a faculty member in Mathematics at UC Irvine and UCLA. Dr. Wang also has broad experience in the industry, working at technology and media corporations such as Oracle and News Corp. Dr. Wang was invited to teach at the MOSP (Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program), an all-expense-paid program, and only the top 50 participants of the USAMO are chosen to attend. The 6 members of the IMO team for the USA are selected from MOSP participants. Dr. Wang is a member of the AMC Advisory Board. Dr. Wang is also an AMC test problem reviewer and USA(J)MO grader. He has coached several students who eventually reached the very top of the major competitions
Kelly Ren, Areteem Institute Director and Math Zoom Academy and Kiddie Techie faculty since 2007. Kelly Ren is the Program Director and Math Coach at Math Zoom Academy. Ms. Ren has a B.S. degree in Physics and a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. Her professional career began as a design engineer at IBM. Her visionary and leadership skills led her to positions in business and management in high tech, software, and financial services companies. Ms. Ren discovered her passion for human development and education, after the birth of her daughter. Along with Dr. Wang, she started a technology-based enrichment program called Kiddie Techie, which rapidly grew to become a successful program in schools, school districts, and community enrichment programs in Southern California. Along with her responsibilities as Program Director of Math Zoom Academy, Ms. Ren began teaching Math Zoom courses after substituting for Dr. Wang and realized her true calling in working with and engaging the interests of younger students. Her logical and clear instruction has resulted in both parents and students coming back for more. Kelly was recently chosen as chair/judge for physics at the 2015 L.A. County Science and Engineering Fair.
Since 2004 the Areteem Institute has been teaching with the methodology that is highly promoted by the new Common Core State Standards: stressing the conceptual level understanding of the math concepts, problem-solving techniques, and solving problems in real-world applications. With guidance from experienced professors infusing passion and enthusiasm, students are encouraged to explore deeper by identifying an interesting problem, researching it, analyzing it, and using a critical thinking approach to come up with multiple solutions. Areteem has national and international acclaim for our successful methods in teaching both students and teachers alike.
Hundreds of math students who have been trained at Areteem achieved the top honors and earned top awards in major national and international math competitions, including Gold Medalists in the International Math Olympiad (IMO), top winners at the USA Math Olympiad (USA(J)MO), top winners at the Zoom International Math League (ZIML), and top winners at the MathCounts National. Many Areteem Alumni have graduated from high school and gone on to enter their dream colleges such as MIT, Cal Tech, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, U Penn, Harvey Mudd College, UC Berkeley, UCLA, etc. Dozens of them have graduated from college and are now playing an important role in the field of endeavor.
