Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Who are the teachers? Do the teachers have a California Teaching Credential?

Math Enrichment's staff is comprised of California Credentialed teachers from various school districts throughout the Santa Clara County.

Question: How many children are there per class?

Classes are usually limited to 30 students, however some classes may have one or two additional students due to extenuating circumstances. There is one teacher and two teaching assistants in each class. This gives us a ratio of 10 to 1 in each class. Our Kinder and first grade classes have one teacher and three teaching assists.

Question: What are the school hours?

Classes begin at 9:00 a.m., and students are dismissed at 3:00 p.m. Students can arrived each day as early as 7:45 a.m. and be picked up as late as 6:00 p.m.

Question: Do you have morning and after school care and is there an extra charge?

Yes, morning and after school care is provided. Morning care will be available each day beginning at 7:45 AM at NO CHARGE, and after school care will be provided from 3:00 to 6:00 at $5.00 per hour. We charge parents $1.25 every 15 minute. For example, if your child is picked up at 4:45 we only charge you $8.75 for that day. After school care fees are paid the Friday of each week.

Question: Is lunch provided at school each day?

If students do not choose to bring a bag lunch from home, they will be able to purchase lunch through the program. In 2012, Math Enrichment will be working with Uncle Ray's Catering to provide a more balanced, nutritious lunch option. Please stay tuned for more details, including a link to Uncle Ray's online payment page, where parents can see the entire summer menu and purchase lunches in advance for a discounted rate.

Question: Is Math Enrichment an Accredited Program?

Math Enrichment's high school level math courses (Algebra and above) are fully accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the premier accreditation organization in the western United States.

Question: Can my child receive high school credit for advanced math classes?

Students currently enrolled in high school will receive 10 credits for classes completed this summer. Please call our summer school office for more details.

Question: If I leave for a week or two on vacation can I receive a tuition discount?

Math Enrichment is not a weekly program, and does not offer a weekly tuition rate. As a result, there is no tuition credit for students who miss class time during the summer. Our staff will be more than happy to work with you and your child to provide all class work that is completed during your absence, and to help your child catch up on their return.

Question: I have multiple children that I would like to send to Math Enrichment, is there a family discount available?

Yes, there is a discount for signing up multiple siblings. A second child will receive a $25 discount, and a third child will receive a $50 discount. Each child after the third will also receive a $50 discount. You may also consider your extra children as referrals but there is not an extra discount.

Question: What does my child need to bring to the first day?

Nothing but a great attitude and a willingness to learn! All necessary materials will be provided on the first day, including backpack, pencils, erasers, books, binders, paper, crayons, makers and a Math Enrichment t-shirt.

Question: Is there homework?

There will be no homework assignments. However, class assignments that are not finished during the time allotted during the day will need to be completed at home. In addition, it is recommended that students take time to study the material learned in class, particularly when a test is upcoming.

Question: How can I keep up to date with my child's progress?

If your child is taking a math class, simply provide the program with an email address that you check on a regular basis. After every test, you will receive an individualized email containing your child's results and his or her current grade in the class. Elementary level students will take home a Friday Folder containing assignments completed and graded during the week. Of course, if you are looking for additional information, you may contact your child's teacher directly or contact our 24-hour customer service at (408) 667-9277.
