The Competitive Contest Coaching Club is for students who would like to expand their knowledge and problem-solving skills while delving deeper into the subject of mathematics. This is an annual membership to a series of intensive high-level coaching sessions for students looking for an extreme challenge.

Students must submit an application to be considered for the Competitive Contest Coaching. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. 

Phase 1: Document Submission

All applicants must have a minimum grade of 92% from Spirit of Math (or 95% from other mathematics classes), three honour roll certificates from math contests during 2020 – 2022, and a positive recommendation letter form their Spirit of Math or day school math teacher. The deadline to submit these documents is 31. July, 2022.

Checklist of documents:

• A recent report card with a minimum 92% from Spirit of Math (or 95% from other mathematics classes)
• Three recent math contest certificates with honour roll
• A recommendation letter from their math teacher

Once you submit the documents, the committee will review your documents and selected applicants will be contacted to continue participating in Phase 2 Application Process.

Phase 2: Virtual Session

All applicants must demonstrate their critical thinking and math knowledge by completing an assignment that consists of two parts: writing a creative solution to an unrealistic scenario and solving two math contest questions. Phase 2 will take place virtually in mid to late August 2022.

Once you submit your work from the virtual meeting, the committee will review your work and selected applicants will be contacted and invited to the Competitive Contest Coaching Club.
