Company Description

Math Circles of Houston was established in the summer of 2022 to bring high-quality, low-to-no-cost math enrichment programs to Houston where none previously existed. In the first three years of operation, MCH holds school-year programs for kids in grades 3-9 on Sunday afternoons in the Museum District, and offers a weeklong summer camp for 6th-9th graders. Students work on engaging, fun problems together that take math outside the context of a worksheet, spanning topics like number theory, logic puzzles, geometric and spatial awareness, and many more. So far we have served kids who hail from 45 zip codes...and counting! Join us on our journey to make every young person a math person.
