Think Academy

Think Academy is a K-12 education company based in the United States, founded in 2019. It provides mathematics and English Language Arts instruction to students from PreK through 12th grade, delivered both online and in-person. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), which serves millions of students globally.

Its programmes are organised into several tracks: a Foundational Math Track, Honors Level Programs, Challenge Level Programs, and a Competition Preparation track preparing students for exams such as Math Kangaroo, AMC 8 and AMC 10. In 2024 more than 1,072 of its students won national math competition awards. The company reports that 90% of its students score above the 90th percentile on state or national math exams, and that 89% are admitted to gifted programmes or private schools.

Teaching follows a structured learning cycle: pre-class preparation, live classroom instruction, after-class practice, homework feedback, weekly office hours, monthly quizzes and free one-to-one support sessions. The stated emphasis is on building academic foundations, developing confidence in mathematics and cultivating long-term learning abilities, supported by a carefully designed curriculum.

Technical work at Think Academy spans education technology, online learning and curriculum design, with particular depth in mathematics and English Language Arts instruction. The company operates in the K-12 education, mathematics education and test- and competition-preparation sectors, with a presence in the United States and, through its parent company, globally.
