Learning and practicing analytical reasoning skills goes a long way towards the success in math contests. Even more importantly, when people do what they love, they usually do it quite well. And so, our students are very good when it comes to math competitions.

In 2018-2019, our teams finished among the best in Illinois, Midwest Region, and Nationally in a number of contests. Two of our students were Math Kangaroo National Champions; five students were National Champions and three students were Midwest Regional Champions in the CML contest; two students earned the George Lenchner Medal, 12 students earned Gold Pin and 33 students earned Silver Pin in the MOEMS contest; our student made Distinguished Honor Roll in AMC-8 contest, 9 students made Honor Roll in AMC-8 or AMC-10 contests, and 7 made Achievement Roll; many students made various other Honor Rolls and earned other individual awards.
