Gifted Math
Designed for students who love math
Students in elementary and middle school who want to accelerate their learning and prepare to take more advanced math classes in high school can take Gifted Math courses at NSO.
Our Gifted Math courses consist of the same academic content as the corresponding courses but include additional social-emotional support elementary students traditionally need through a combination of online learning, regular teacher check-ins, occasional online meetings, and frequent communication to parents/guardians and counselors.

Gifted Math Prerequisites
A recommendation from the school gifted coordinator or counselor is requested to confirm the student’s readiness for the course.
To have success in the NSO Gifted Math program, a student needs to be able to pick up concepts rather quickly, keep up on the homework and classwork, attend all or most of the online sessions, ask questions when needed, prepare well for tests and quizzes, and be able to explain their solutions thoughtfully and in a number of ways.
