Can we raise $10K? Let's do the math!

10K in Honor of TCP’s 10th Anniversary!

As we wrap up the school year and honor this year’s 2024 TCP Graduates, NSF has the ambitious goal of raising $10,000 to support current and future NPS students in The Calculus Project (TCP)!

Our largest cohort of over 200 NPS students of color and low income students between 8th-12th grade are currently participating in TCP, 95% of whom are enrolled in honors or accelerated math. All of these students are on track to take calculus or introduction to calculus as seniors.

Given these successes, more students are interested in participating each year and there is currently a growing waitlist. TCP relies upon generous corporate and individual donors to ensure its success. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT now more than ever to ensure that every eligible student has the opportunity to be a part of the TCP program.

The Calculus Project (TCP) was created to give students of color and those who are economically disadvantaged an opportunity to embark on a very different academic trajectory. TCP uses advanced math as a powerful pathway to success for historically underrepresented students.

YOUR IMPACT

Since the Calculus Project’s launch in 2013, your financial support has played a key role in the significant enrollment growth NPS has seen in high-level mathematics among traditionally underrepresented student groups.

Students build increased skill and confidence in math allowing them to thrive in advanced math classes.
Skills gained boost student confidence in their other classes.
Connections formed with TCP cohort students and teachers build feelings of inclusion and respect.

The Calculus Project in Newton currently serves 200 students in grades 8-12. At a cost of $700 per student for a full year of programming, its success depends on a public-private partnership between the Newton Public Schools, corporate donors, and generous individuals.

The Calculus Project helps students build their math skills and confidence. Students attend a three-week intensive summer “math camp” where they preview the upcoming year’s math curriculum, learn life and study skills, and go on exciting field trips to STEM companies like Google and iRobot. Throughout the school year, they are offered twice-a-week after-school tutoring support.
