Pros

We write and teach the absolute best in Math curricula The people writing our textbooks and teaching our courses care deeply about students, as does our CEO

Cons

The HQ environment is something out of the Twilight Zone. Nearly half of the Managers, Directors, and VPs have little or no work experience outside AoPS, so even simple, standard work anywhere else is a convoluted one-off of outdated guesses here. We brought in a few experienced outsiders the past few years and it seemed to be on a path to introducing standard business methods, modern applications and operations. But the old guard ran protected its legacy processes and ran off or beat down anyone who brought in new ideas.

Pros

Nice campus in a great location

Cons

Though I was hired there in late July 2025 as a Language Arts Instructor, I never got to work in this capacity. After interviewing, coming in for a teaching demonstration, and completing a mountain of paperwork, I was informed that they did not actually have any class/es to offer me, but that I was "welcome" to say on in a substitute capacity. In the nearly year that followed, exactly one substitute opportunity matching my skill set and schedule became available but was snapped up before I could take it. I also received a lot of marketing emails and one webinar invite, as well as an alarming letter from their corporate HR, asking why I had not worked for them yet -- as if I had any control over this! If they wanted to know why I had not worked there, why not ask the person I'd been in contact with, who kept feeding me all these lies? To add insult to injury, in March of this year, they posted another vacancy advert for the same post I had applied for in 2025; when I enquired why, if they did not have anything for me in summer of 2025, they did not offer me this post when it was available, I was given some BS about how they were advertising for their "current campus needs" and thanked me for "understanding" No more "understanding," and I advise everyone else to steer clear of them; they're nothing more than an expensive, fancy version of Phoenix University.
