Program
Bright Minds is based on the most successful mathematics programs in the world, including Singapore Math, Russian Mathematics, and Harvard Math Circles. It is developed and run by Aaron and Moses Renert, two of the best known mathematics educators in Western Canada. Together they bring over 40 years of combined experience teaching mathematics to over 25,000 students of all ages (kindergarten to university). The three pillars of the Bright Minds mathematics program are mental math skills, creative thinking and deep understanding.
Junior Kindergarten to
Middle School Math Program
Middle School Math Program
We build a strong understanding of mathematics from the ground up through a rigorous curriculum. The lessons kids learn and skills kids develop through contemplation of mathematics can be applied in all fields of study.
Daytime online math classes are available for homeschooled families with children from Kindergarten to Grade 9. It’s the same great math program provided during the school day freeing up your evenings for other activities.

Mental Math Skills
Bright minds students progress through mathematical topics ahead of grade level. When they encounter the same topics in school, they are very familiar with them and can handle them with ease. The longer students study with Bright Minds, the more advanced they will be in mathematics and analytical reasoning as compared with their peers at school.
Creative Thinking
The classes are highly interactive and students participate throughout, sharing solutions and ideas. Creative thinking does not result from drills alone. Classes include many fun activities that make thinking fun. Puzzles, competitions, and games play a big role in our classes. Kids practice the concepts we teach because they have fun doing it.
There are many entertaining activities: thinking games, logical puzzles, and competitions. They all communicate the message that thinking is fun.
Deep Mathematical Understanding
The focus of the curriculum is not simply on the “how” or process of mathematics, but also on the “why” or theory behind the mathematics. We do more than present kids with technical tools they can apply to solve particular types of problems.
Our curriculum includes discussions, reasoning, and proof. We build an ability to reason through complex problems logically and thoughtfully. Students are encouraged to find specific solutions, both individually and collectively, and to generalize those solutions to gain a broader understanding of problem solving in general.
High School Math
Bright Minds High School Math Program
Once students are ready to work on High School Level material (Math 10, 20, 30, 31 and beyond), Bright Minds continues to offer enrichment classes to students working above grade level. Advanced students can enrol in the Bright Minds math program (full school year) and attend structured classes which follow the high school curriculum at a relaxed pace.
Do you have a child that loves math and just can’t get enough at school? We can help them fuel their curiosity and keep them challenged and engaged. We even have some students working on University level material with our top instructors. Have a child that would like to preview the next-level material prior to taking their High School Math course in school? They can do that in Bright Minds too. As always Bright Minds students have the option to participate in our Chess Club and Math Competition clubs to further advance their skills.
High School Math Credit Courses and Diploma Prep Sessions
Renert also offers online High School Math Credit Courses and Diploma Preparation Sessions each semester.
