Rigorous and Engaging Small-Group Math Exploration at Ormondale—Only 3–6 Students per Instructor | Fall Quarter I - 2026 Application Form

Trusted by over 20 leading Bay Area schools within just three years of our launch, largely through word-of-mouth referrals, Descartes Learning Club (DLC) is thrilled to bring our premium math & logic program back to Ormondale following our successful spring pilot.


Why Families Choose DLC:

Founded by a Stanford alumna and developed in collaboration with a Stanford math professor and a former coach of the Chinese International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) Team, Descartes Learning Club (DLC) offers a rigorous yet engaging premium math and logic enrichment program.

At the heart of our program is a commitment to delivering a best-in-class math enrichment experience through:

1) Classes are exceptionally small (only 3–6 students per instructor), allowing instructors to tailor instruction to each child's mathematical level and learning style while fostering a collaborative, enjoyable classroom environment.

2) Our expert instructors are carefully selected—typically one hire from over 50 applicants—and receive extensive training and ongoing pedagogical coaching.

3) Engaging and rigorous curriculum: We combine Beast Academy (Levels 1–5) and Art of Problem Solving (Level 6 and above), Math Circle materials from Berkeley and Stanford, interactive math games, and selected competition problems to build deep mathematical understanding, strong problem-solving skills, and a lasting love of mathematics.

4) Custom-written lesson recaps & optional homework: As part of our high-touch approach, instructors provide a custom-written lesson recap and optional homework after each class to reinforce learning.
