Our Mission

Picture
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.

About Our Students

​Following the intensive training camp for USABO finalists, our student, Rick Li has earned a bronze medal at the Center for Excellence in Education’s (CEE) USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) National Finals in 2016.  To give back to the community and to promote the interest in STEM learning, he is willing to provide free tutoring service every Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00pm at Pyramid Academy starting on June 25.  He will be conducting a tutoring corner during this time, mainly focusing on Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Algebra.  Rick is going to be a senior at Naperville Central High School. He has held captains at a few clubs where he has been actively involved in.  Any students at Pyramid Academy who might need help with homework and class material are welcome, or anyone who would like to get any advices from Rick. NO need to make appointment, first come and first serve!
