The Cambridge School students earned more than one-fourth of all possible awards at the ACSI Math Olympics.
The Cambridge School, a growing, Classical Christian school located in Rancho Penasquitos, surprised the competition at the annual ACSI Math Olympics held on March 28. Every year students are tested in two categories: Arithmetic Computation and Mathematical Reasoning. This year, 24 students represented The Cambridge School in this district level competition. Of the 16 schools and nearly 350 students present, The Cambridge School students earned more than one-fourth of all possible awards — more than any other single school — despite being a smaller school. Jean Kim, founder and Head of School, attributes their success to the distinct way the Classical Christian model is implemented at The Cambridge School: “We are proud of the fact that our Christian liberal arts model focuses on teaching students how to think, reason and synthesize both verbally and quantitatively, which is proving so successful in math and science, as well as the humanities. We praise each and every student for their efforts to steward and cultivate their mathematical gifts well.”
