SAI: the Summer Algebra Institute
for Kids! – for next summer (2025)
Parents – we’ve been doing SAI since 1995 – we know how to get kids turned ON to math – using Algebra! Some 4,000 students have attended SAI over the years.
SAI is…
• a hands-on math enrichment program…
• using Algebra (!!) to get kids in grades 3-6…
• turned ON to math…
• with active, hands-on algebra activities…
• for students with a wide range of academic abilities…
• not just gifted/talented…
• with some 4,000 students attending SAI since 1995.

• This is not your parents’ Algebra class! This is hands-on Algebra – using color, shape, SIZE, texture, math pieces, music, hands-on activities, and Games – with kids becoming eager and excited about doing math that make so much sense.
• In SAI, math becomes as simple as “…say what you see, write what you say.” SAI makes Algebra that easy – and fun and sensible – while also connecting Algebra with the Arithmetic that students already know.

SAI 2025 classes will be held Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 12 noon in the Holland-Zeeland area of west Michigan. Our very, VERY tentative schedule is:
• SAI-34 (rising 3rd/4th grade students, fall 2025): July 14-18
• SAI-567 (rising 5th/6th/7th students, fall 2025): July 21-25
• SAI-Advanced (students who have already attended SAI-567, OR students who are ready to take a course in Pre-Algebra or Algebra-1): July 28-Aug.1
Registration for SAI 2025 will begin in February 2025.
Note well: SAI sessions have limited space. Enroll your child soon!
While SAI is especially convenient for students in west Michigan – the Zeeland-Holland area and the greater Grand Rapids metro vicinity – students from anywhere in the U.S. or Canada can register for SAI. There is nothing like SAI in the entire country. Over the years, families from as far away as Texas, Arizona, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Georgia have brought their students to attend our algebra enrichment program.
