“What is the purpose of school? Why must I learn this?”. Some say school is simply preparation for employment and for the rest of our lives. I enjoy school; however, I have always found it to be rather difficult and pointless being in the French immersion stream and this was due to the lack of help I received from my mother and father unlike many of my peers whose parents attended university and spoke both English and French fluently.

Algebra Academy is an innovative algebra immersion program for middle school students who are motivated to learn and advance in mathematics with help from university professors.
