Parent Testimonials:
“You guys did it. I don’t know what you did to them, but you did it. I mean you introduced him to things that he didn’t know was out there. And that made the difference to everything going on”.
“My child gained more confidence in math because it related to what he liked to do. The sports helped, he got better grades this year [than] last year, and that confidence level just gave him a real big boost. His teachers wanted to know where… he learn[ed] so much…because last year [his grades] was really bad, and this year it was a whole lot better because it related to everything he likes to do – sports”.
“Awesome experience for him. He gained knowledge, friends, and new interests”.
“The strength of Mathletics is that it’s comprehensive…It was just a very comprehensive, very thorough program…It was a full day…They’re in a loving environment where they learn to start networking and build their kind of… village camaraderie…[It was a] very well run program…And I just really appreciated the level of care and the level of thought that was placed into actually making the program…. well thought-out. [It was a very] structured program”.
“Mathletics gives students and parents the opportunity to learn more about sports-related careers that may derive from math-based knowledge. They let students know that just because you have limited athletic abilities, that doesn’t mean you have to stray away from a career in sports. You just have to change your mindset and approach”.
“It’s an overall wonderful experience…The activities were always exciting and fun. My son, [name redacted], always came home with a positive story of his camp experience that day! It’s a family and tremendous value giving the children enriching learning opportunities and career and college exposure that is invaluable. Finally, a benefit that cannot be overlooked is that good lunches were provided each day on the Coppin campus! What a relief and help that is!!”.
