Summer 2025 Enrollment Guide

For first-time students at Leading Aces Academy

Here are our Summer 2025 course enrollment recommendations for each level. The recommendations for current and new students are different, so please ensure you reference the correct guide.

If you are a continuing student already enrolled in Leading Aces Academy courses, please refer to our Current Student Enrollment Guide instead.

If you would like to start taking classes at Leading Aces Academy, visit our School Curriculum and explore our Math Contest Core (MC) classes. You'll find self-diagnostic tests listed to help determine your level -- please take it honestly to ensure accurate placement. Once you have completed it, you can find a list of recommended classes below.

Please follow the guide below instead of the guide for current students! The summer term is the last term of our school year (which starts in September), so treat this placement as an early start for the next school year.
