Testimonials & Success Stories
"IMACS is the best thing a parent can do to prepare a child to excel in math."— Charles Sternfield, North Broward Prep School Parent, FL
I would like to express my gratitude for educating my children. It's FCAT week and I just wanted you to know, ever since Pooja has been in the IMACS program her scores have been soaring. She understands the mathematical concepts inside and out and truly enjoys your program. I am a believer of learning for life, and you have helped Pooja achieve that goal. She has been recently nominated to the "Dwight D Eisenhower People to People Award" for outstanding leadership and academic merit. Also she is one of five, and the only girl in her school who made it to the BCCTM competion. It is a Broward county inter school mathematics competion on April 1st. Thank you for helping her achieve these accomplishments and raising her confidence. Meghana is also doing very well. This is her first year of IMACS and is enjoying herself. The subject of mathematics used to intimidate her and now she finds it enjoyable. Her confidence is rising and she is on her way to success. Once again, thank you for making a difference in my children's lives. — Arnita Kethireddy, Embassy Creek Elementary Parent, FL
Just a note to let you know we are so happy with Tommy's results in math thanks to your program. Can you believe he tested at mid 7th grade level in the Iowa Standardized Test in his understanding of mathematical concepts? He's only just finished third grade! I wanted to let you know we will definitely be re-enrolling in the fall. Thank you so much for an excellent year! —Carrie Holland, Raleigh NC
I administered the 2nd grade California Achievement Test to Sarah and Jessica last week … Jessie got 38 out of 40 on the math section, and Sarah got a perfect 40 out of 40! I'm so proud of my little math geeks. Thanks for all your hard work and TLC with them in the IMACS program. — Maria Spicer, IMACS Parent
"My son loved this!! Thanks for coming to our school!!!" — Anne Brady, The College School of Webster Groves, St Louis, MO
"Just as sport enriches your body, IMACS enriches my son's mind. It has expanded his math capabilities tremendously, and Sam loves it!" — Donna Lack, North Broward Prep School Parent, FL
"We chose IMACS for its logic and critical thinking emphasis — not usually taught in traditional math courses. The best result, though, was our daughter's increased confidence in her math skills, and her discovery that math is a lot of fun." — Suzanne Kerr, Pine Crest Parent, FL
"I wanted to drop a note to let you know what a wonderful program IMACS is. Each week when I woud come to pick up Jenna (age 7) from her IMACS class I would ask her how it was. Each week she would say it was fun or it was great or she really liked it!! These are not the usual responses a kid has about a "math" class. Somehow the IMACS instructors brought a joy and fun to the learning process. Jenna's math skills have been truly enriched. It has given her a greater confidence and ability in her math class at school. I can't thank you enough for the growth I have seen in Jenna. What's even better is that my husband and I can't even help her with the homework anymore." — Sherrie Giusto, American Heritage Parent, FL

What Students Say About IMACS!
"I applied the reasoning skills I developed in IMACS to the LSAT (law school exam) and got into Harvard Law. My first law professor said that, even if we don't become lawyers, the legal training will make us better thinkers and will give us an unfair advantage in life. I had to laugh because I had already received my unfair advantage from IMACS." — Scott Caplan, Harvard Law School
"Before IMACS, I did not realize how interesting and exciting mathematics could be. IMACS not only developed my interest in mathematics, it taught me the advanced thinking and material to succeed in all my math classes and even in my general studies." — Jennifer Hernandez, North Broward Prep School, Valedictorian, Class of 2004, Currently at MIT
"When I interviewed with a Georgia Tech Computer Science Professor, he said he could tell I had taken the IMACS Computer Class. He was impressed—and I was amazed!" — Erik Benoist, Georgia Tech
"I was sitting in COP 3530 (Data Structures and Algorithms,) at the University of Florida. It's only about a week or so into class, and the lecturer is telling us about his start in the computer industry, and all the languages he's worked with. Lisp came up, as it tends to when people reminisce over programming. "So who here's even heard of Lisp?"
I, for what feels like the hundredth time I've heard this question, raise my hand. "Really?" "Yeah." "How in the world do you know about it?" "Well, I took Scheme classes at IMACS when I was younger." "So how long did you work on it?" I sat there counting off the years in my head, before responding, "well I used it for about five years there before I learned Java." "Which came easily, I bet." "You know it." He just stood there, looked shocked for a bit, and then chuckled. "Well, I feel real sorry for the rest of you. Because this guy here just positively destroyed the curve." — Alvaro Salkeld, University of Florida
