Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage independent thinking, promote educational excellence through honest effort and team work, and consequently help to discover and develop problem-solving skills among students.
Our programs are set up to help gifted students preparing for various national and international level competitions including but not limited to: Math (USAMO), Biology (USABO), Chemistry (USNCO), Physics (USPHO), Computer Science (USACO), Speech, Debate, and Writing. Through the preparation for these prestigious competitions, our staff helps our students learn how to set up learning goals and make effective study plans. We work with students directly, by encouraging them to follow through their plans, overcome challenges and set-backs, and work hard towards these personal goals.
We believe in collaborated effort among students, families, teachers, counselors and school board, to help students reaching their maximum potential and support the mission of the school. Whether you're looking for a school that incorporates the attitudes and traits required for success throughout its teaching, or simply looking to improve your student's academic skills, Pyramid Academy is the most suitable choice for you.
