Math Corps Information

Math Corps is a nationally recognized social justice program serving middle- and high-school students from underserved communities. Founded in 1992 at Wayne State University, we combine rigorous math instruction with a unique “kids-teaching-kids” model and a culture rooted in kindness, integrity, and courage. Independent research shows that 95% of our students graduate from high school and 90% go on to college or another post-secondary path—proof that when love and high expectations meet, greatness follows. MATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING. It’s the foundation of this family and the building blocks of what we do. But we’re also in the business of kindness, integrity, and courage. Because perseverance is greater than perfection. We ask nothing less of middle and high school kids than to change the world. And while it may seem lofty, we know their inner resilience. So we show them love in every way, every day. Because love is exponential. Love grows up and comes back to give love again. Love sets an example. Love knows that to be it, you have to see it. With love, care, and support every kid can find their inner greatness. They just need someone to believe. We believe.
