Question 1

Are AlphaStar Academy courses accredited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AlphaStar Academy courses are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) as a Supplementary Education Program.

Accreditation doesn't mean that you can skip the courses at your school. The schools have the final decision in accepting the courses for credit or not.

Question 2

What is the typical class structure for the Fundamental courses?

Accepted Answer

For our “live” courses, a typical class session consists of a lecture on any new topics/theorems for that chapter, followed by a set of example problems that illustrate the topics from that chapter. These courses also include review/exam sessions where the instructor reviews the previous chapters’ material and answers students’ questions.

Question 3

What should I do to avoid multiple LMS accounts?

Accepted Answer

Provide the same information during the registration for full name, DOB, email, high school graduation year.

Question 4

How do I find which course is right for me/my student?

Accepted Answer

You can find course descriptions, along with a self-diagnostic exam and our recommended level, here: https://alphastar.academy/mathematics/.

If you are new to math competitions, we generally recommend starting with the following levels:

MC15 (Elementary School)
MC20 (Middle School)
MC30 (High School)

After reading the course descriptions and taking the diagnostic exam, if you are still not sure about the right level, we encourage you to schedule a free online consultation. You can also email us at info@alphastar.academy with your student background (grade, exam result, any official/practice contest results, if any), and we will be happy to recommend a level for you.

Question 5

Can I select and register for a course/camp now and change my level later on?

Accepted Answer

Please see the “Course and Section Switches” section in the Terms and Conditions for more details.

Question 6

What are the deadlines for completing assignments in math courses?

Accepted Answer

While there are no strict deadlines for completing assignments, we recommend that students work on their homework weekly to maximize their learning. Students have access to course materials for two years from the enrollment date, allowing them to complete assignments at their own pace within that timeframe.
