Our advanced classes are taught by practicing professionals in fields that involve mathematics, writing, Chinese, organization, or time management. Two 9 – 10 week Fall and Winter sessions are offered during the school year as well as two 5 week Spring/Summer mini-sessions. Classes are small with less than 10 students per class, held in Edina. What does ‘advanced’ mean? In general, students who prefer to learn quickly, with little repetition, who can absorb concepts readily and enjoy being challenged rather than “taught” are successful candidates for our classes. In mathematics, the expectation is that students are at the minimum grade level designated on our course descriptions. Otherwise, they need to have accelerated their math learning to the equivalent grade level. Instructors do not teach basic concepts and instead, assume a base core of knowledge.
ecae gives students the opportunity to learn along with other bright peers, connect with coaches and mentors who appreciate bright, inquiring students, and who share a joy and passion for their fields.
