HISTORY

 

The decline in student’s math scores and disinterest in math made Cathy Burton decide to act. She believes every child should know and understand the basics of math. 

 

In 2014, she decided to create an organization dedicated to teaching math in a fun and interesting way, and Math Way to Excellence was born. Math Way to Excellence is a nonprofit organization who's goal is to help children develop their math skills and grow.

 

Through our program, the child is given everything needed to succeed in their math journey.  Each child is assessed and their path begins at their current level.  As they grasp each concept, they are progressed along.  Their “math way” is to a total understanding of basic math and upwards to advanced math concepts.  Since many of our youth cannot afford private programs, Math Way to Excellence sponsors many of its participants through monetary support from individuals and corporations.
