What a disappointment . My daughter sign up for a geometry class here and didn't learn a thing ! Teacher who doesn't believe in teaching. He spent most of his times on his cellphone during class time. A total unqualified teacher. Will not be returning next year. read more

Terrible experience. I signed up my son who is mildly autistic (e.g. if he gets the respect and attention I believe all humans deserve, it is unnoticeable). He was kicked out the first day, 2 hours into the program. No refund was provided. The real inconvenience was of course having to urgently find alternative options for the following three weeks. And then I have not bee able to get of their mailing lists for 3 years now. A business built on greed and arrogance and complete lack of understanding of what it takes to learn. How do I know - I spent a couple of hours in their class and I knew, I would have hated math and failed to learn 10% of the math I know if I had been put there. If you want to save money on childcare or a proper camp, do not do it with these guys, unless you do not mind your kid hating math and getting used to mediocrity. read more

We were at the Palo Alto camp site and it was well run. Kudos to the site coordinator, Brian, who worked tirelessly to make sure the parents were well informed of the activities each week. He was always available for questions and tried to get to know every student and parents personally. My kids, 10 and 8, weren't thrilled to go to "school" but the camp tried to incorporate some fun for the kids. Movies, video games, recess games, and field trips. It helped that my kids had friends who were at this camp. Who are we kidding here? Parents, the name of this camp is called math enrichment, what else do you expect besides school related summer program. All in all, at the end my kids enjoyed it, learned new material, and told me they would go back next year. read more

It would have been 4 stars, but now they don't even provide you with backpacks and barely any supplies! They definitely need to have more security. My child had a good grasp on math, which is why he did decent. They should add a class option for Algrebra and above: FAST PACE and SLOW PACE. Some students definitely need more than 1/2 week per chapter; they will probably just forget it right when school starts. For the people who are naturally better at math, fast paced would be a good challenge. However, math enrichment is great because of a few teachers. Some teachers have a lot of experience from teaching, which is great. Also, they have a few days where you can go to great america or something. Finally, the raffle at the end of the year is kind and thoughtful; lots of things to win! read more

Both of my sons go to Math Enrichment camp at Palo Alto this summer. Kids learn math and reading during Monday to Thursday and usually have some field trips on Friday - movie, Great America, Dave & Buster. I like the idea that kids can continue learning during summer for about five weeks. Hot lunch is available and pre-camp care if free. Post-camp care is also very affordable ($5/hr). It's a very friendly camp to working parents. read more

My son is attending his 3rd year of Math Enrichment at Leland. We have been very happy with the program and he has fun. I love the flexibility the extended care provides and the cost is great. However, we had chosen to not use extended care the first few years cause we felt it was to free form for younger kids. But as an incoming 4th grader we are more comfortable and he will be staying a few days a week. read more

my daughter and son went to their camp for two years.It is best value camp and also get good prepare for the next school year .Their management is very good,most every hall the students can reach they arrange staff watching.They hire experienced school teacher not like other pricy camp have college students for teaching.They always pick up phone even once I phoned at 7am. We lost testbook and the nice owner gave us a new one.The lunch is not pricy but kids loves it. It is valuable and safety camp,really strong kids academic. And again thank you for open camp at palo alto location and we never need go cupertino have their camp. read more

Don't like this camp at all. My son who is going to 5th grade next fall 2011, plus the camp site is real close by, so we gave it a try. The weather is pretty hot in San Jose during summer, the kids have to play and eat at the basketball field with no shade at all. The teachers and staffs are not professional, they put 4th and 5th grader 30 students into one classroom, only one teacher and two high school student TA. My son didn't learn much, not worth the price, I would rather hire a tutor next time. read more

I have to say that I disagree with many of these posts. I have sent my children to this camp for multiple years and have been more than pleased with the progress they have made. A few points: 1. The program is not expensive at all. Yes, $900 sounds like a lot of money, but your children are at the camp from 9:00 to 3:00 Monday through Friday. Think about what you are paying per hour for a six week program like this one. Try sending your kid to any other place for this amount of time and tell me how much it will cost. Yes, the field trips are extra money, but the alternative would be to add money to the base price of the program. Never once has anybody from the program said these things are included. For the money that this program charges, you really do get a lot of value. 2. The customer service is really remarkable. You can call the support number ANY time and you will be able to talk to someone. I have called at 11:00 PM (a bit excessive, I know, but it was important) and I was actually able to speak to a person. That was truly unexpected. 3. The staff is young, but they truly seem to care about the kids. By the end of the first week, the staff working in daycare knew my name, who my kids were, and where they would likely be playing. I notice this over and over when I see other parents picking their children up. It seems like many families have been happily sending their kids to Math Enrichment for years and have developed good relationships with the staff. So don't get too caught up in these negative reviews. The site director told me that there was 3500 students in the program last summer, and 2000 the year before. All of these kids, they must be doing something positive... read more

Their summer program was very disappointing in many ways. 1. I was told by the owner that the curriculum was tailored to the individual based on test scores. That was definitely not the case. The teachers had the kids work on the math work books in class after a little lecture and then gave weekly tests. There was very little feedback unless you contacted them. It was not an innovative program. 2. The daycare environment is not suitable for kids younger than junior high school age. The program promised playground equipment and only supplied balls for after school. Nothing was available at recess. Your child is left to play video games for hours in the after care program. 3. The literature said the Nintendo Wii would be used for educational purposes on occasion with educational type software. Guitar Hero and similar software does not constitute educational. 4. This program is probably suitable for junior high and high school students. For elementary school children, parents may feel there is not enough close supervision. read more

Poor kids, If you go in the morning to look at these kids faces you will see their sadness they are pushed to the maximum even if they are at level or beyond in their skills, parents don't understand they just came from a whole year of school and what they get is MORE school work for their summer. They need to relax during summer, oh, and some of the teachers there are so obnotious, they too seem they'de rather be at the beach than working with these kids, they are rude and like a robot, no fun for the kids, they just come in, sit, read, do math, and leave for lunch and return, this is a non-fun learning environment, so, are you punishing your kid for completing a another year in school? this is summer school PERIOD, I don't care what anyone says. read more

I should have Read the reviews. ...I didn't and I am regretting. .......Not a worthy program. ....to make mater worst they will charge your credit card like they are your 17 your old........We had to call multiple times to get the charges reversed......but they happen again....You have to call ...they apologize ...and reverse the charges and then they charge again hoping it sticks.... read more

I had my kids go to Math Enrichment a few years ago. The amount they learn is based on the teacher. My son took geometry before entering 9th grade. What a big waste of time. The teacher NEVER lectured. My son even took a video of the class where the teacher never lectured. The kids just sat down, opened their books, and worked independently. Biggest waste of time and money. I had to teach my son geometry that summer because the teacher did NOTHING. read more

Be warned, the administration is run mostly by young folks who behave irresponsibly. There is no sign-in or sign-out process for the kids and they don't check IDs for who ever picks up the kids. Have your expectation right on child safety, as it was a shocker for us to find our 5 year old was missing, only to find out that he had been picked up by his friend's parents. The program director had no clue on where the kid was, and the we had to make frantic phone calls to friends and family to locate him. The staff was least apologetic and instead pulled my kid off the program on the whim of the camp director. The staff is very arrogant and also used profanity while we tried to ask questions on what their process was to ensure child safety. Take a look at their website, and there is no single name you can locate to lodge a complaint with. read more

I sent all three of my kids here this summer (K and 8th grader) for the first time. First, I like the idea that my kids can continue learning in the summer and be better prepared for the coming year instead of wasting money in a lot of super expensive camps where when you look back years later were a waste of money (Galileo camps, for e.g.). None of my three kids ever complained about going to this camp, not even the 8th grader. My daughter went to a lot of these high price camps in the early years and now looking back years later, it was a waste of money. Second, the staff esp. Michael is so responsive and genuinely cares about kids learning and provides a lot of great advice. Every time I called him, he would answer. Every time I sent an email, immediate response. I wish our public schools were 1/10 as responsive. Third, this camp is not by any means expensive. It is very reasonable and they have extended after school care which is also reasonable. A Galileo camp where the staff is primarily a bunch of high school kids and some college would cost at least 3x for me per child per week with extended care. Sure, if your option is to keep your kid at home it would be cheaper but any other camp would be significantly more expensive. This is an all day 6 week camp! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 stars is that for the younger ones I am not sure if they learned as much as my older one did, it seemed not as advanced. But even so, I would repeat next year. read more

My son loves it and has been going here every year. It prepares kids well for the next school year. In case you plan to enroll for 2015 summer program use referral code 1733625528. read more

Our two children AND two counsins really enjoyed this Summer Program. This was their first year. The teachers were excellent and the customer service from the staff was great. They are very friendly and return emails and phone calls right away. My one child moved up in high school Geometry and earned high school credit. They included all the supplies and went on some exciting field trips. I would recommend this program to any parent. They also provided free transportation to and from the location. The cost of this program is much more affordable than any program in Santa Clara County. VERY WELL ORGANIZED!! read more

My 17 year old son took precalculus during the summer at Math Enrichmen so he could take calculus during his senior year. His teacher was very helpful. In the Fall, my son passed the challenge test and was able to take calculus. He was very happy with the whole experience. read more

The program is good for parents that want their kids to focus mainly on academics. If you are looking for a program that is hands-on, you may not find it here. Enroll your children in Math Enrichment's summer school program if nothing else is available or time constraints prevent you from finding something else. This is strictly an academic based program. It is not for most kids if they are looking for a fun program that is applied based. I think Math Enrichment is useful if you want your children to review material that they previously learned, with a condensed summary of what they will be exposed too. read more

Whatever you do, AVOID THIS BUSINESS, At the start it seemed like a legit business, but as the month continued, the quality of education provided degrades quickly. The textbooks are outdated and are not even up to common core standards, they charged 900 dollars for a 20 day enrichment class. The breakdown of a week in a nutshell: Start with self study. 1st period ends and the teacher assigns work, or starts a test. And a test is taken 1 day after they learn the material, or even on the same day. In the instance of my experience, they skipped 2 chapters and the teacher didn't cover any of the material. All work/learning was done by yourself or as a group of 3-4. The weekly lesson is Monday: Learn/Test Tuesday: Test, Wednesday : learn Thursday: test, Friday: Trip/no school. And on some days, they test you the same day that you learn the material. As for the school trips I have no experience with, but they charge money for all of the trips. read more

I don't typically write reviews but this time I think I have to say something as I don't think the program deserves such a poor rating. I have sent 3 of my kids to the program held at Leland High, this will be my third year and they love it. They get to do some learning (I'm not saying the academics are exceptional but they do get to practice math and do some extra reading/writing) They also have their fun activities and they enjoy the company of the young tutors. I would not recommend the program for the very little ones (k-2) as it may be overwhelming with the amount of children that attend. Note I have a fourth kid that attends Bellarmine's summer camp and I can tell you that academically I see no difference (note I'm comparing the Bellarmine's summer camp ). Price wise, I think this is a good deal.. It is a full day camp and the after school program is very affordable. I understand this may not be a camp for all kids, but it's not as horrible as the other reviews state.. just my two cents... read more
