At Fremont Christian, we believe in nurturing a love of mathematics from an early age. Our students don’t just learn math — they apply it in real-world challenges that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic excellence. That’s why we participate in several nationally and internationally recognized math competitions each year — right here on campus.
These contests provide a fun and engaging way for students to push beyond the curriculum, gain recognition, and develop confidence in their mathematical abilities. Whether your child is in transitional kindergarten or high school, there’s a place for them to shine.
Math Competitions at FCS

AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions)
Grades 3–8
Open to junior high students and elementary students in our Challenge Math program, the AMC 8 introduces students to problem-solving through creative, non-routine questions. This contest helps spark early interest in higher-level mathematics and STEM fields. More info
AMC 10
Grades 9–10 (and advanced younger students)
The AMC 10 continues to develop problem-solving skills while introducing more complex mathematical concepts such as geometry, number theory, and algebra. Participation in this exam is often the first step on the path toward prestigious competitions like the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) and United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
